He Is Risen

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you had a fabulous Easter Weekend and Resurrection Sunday!!  

I am still working on my goal of using stamps and products that I have already in my “collection” and created several Easter cards using the cross image from Easter Morn (a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp set).

This card I paired with a sentiment from the retired Stampin’ Up! set, Crazy About You and am participating with a few online challenges- the sketch from CASE This Sketch #318 (Retro #218) Challenge along with the Simon Says Wednesday 04/17 Spring Mood Board Challenge (I was inspired by the multi colored flowers) and the Try It On Tuesday “Springtime” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing tool, stamp the cross image with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

2). Once the embossing has cooled, color the cross image using water-based markers.  Fussy-cut the image and set aside.  (FYI- I stamped nine images on a piece of 8 ½” x 11” white cardstock, stamped and embossed all of the images and used the Brother Scan-n-Cut to cut out all of the images.)

3). Fold a piece of 4 ¼” x 11” piece of white cardstock in half for the card base.  Use a score board to score lines on the front panel – score at 1 ¼”, 1 ⅜”, 3”, 3 ⅛”. 

4). Mount the cross image using dimensional foam.

5).  De-static a piece of black cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the “Happy Easter” from Crazy About You with Versamark™ ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Create the banner ends and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

6).  Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the petals, cross and dove.  Add white highlights to the flower centers with a white paint pen.
