You Have Been Healed

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing an Easter card designed with the brand new release Happy Day Iris Bundle along with the new Salvation stamp set and other paper, dies and supplies from Stamp Simply.

I love all of the new release stamp sets-they are absolutely gorgeous!  The two sets that I used for this card, the Happy Day Iris Bundle and Salvation stamp sets are perfect for Easter as well as all year round!

Whenever I see irises I think of my Mother- (they were her favorite flower) and the color of irises goes well with the Echo Park My Favorite Spring 6x6 Paper pad .  So many pretty pastels and the purple pattern from the Craft Consortium Ink Drops- Vivid 6x6 paper pad seemed to be the perfect match !

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and am linking to the Tic-Tac-Toe #151 Challenge (top row across, Bright Colors-Flowers-Ribbon/Twine), the Word Art Wednesday #533-#534 “Anything Goes” Challenge and the Simon Wednesday “Add a Die Cut” Challenge. 

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to see all of the inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the above challenge sites- fabulous galleries from all!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of the light green designer paper from the My Favorite Spring 6x6 paper to approx. 2 ½” x 5 1/4”. 

Emboss the panel with the Darice Vine Pattern Embossing Folder and adhere to the top of a piece of 4 ¼ ” x 5 ½” cardstock.  

Trim a piece of the purple  Craft Consortium Ink Drops- Vivid 6x6 designer paper to approx. 3” x 5 ¼”, mount onto the bottom of the card front.

To cover the cut seams of the designer paper, add a strip of purple seam binding from the Blues Purples Seam Binding Bundle, wrapping the ends behind the panel.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the iris image from the Happy Day Iris Bundle with archival black ink onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, watercolor the image with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating Happy Day Iris die (also die cut another iris from plain white cardstock to adhere behind the colored image).

Die cut a piece of white cardstock with an elegant oval die , de-static with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment and the cross from the Salvation stamp set with archival black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Layer the die cut oval sentiment onto the card front and mount onto a white card base.

Adhere the colored/die cut iris onto the card front with dimensional foam.

To finish off the card, use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the iris petals and add a self-adhesive pearl to the center of the cross.
