He Is Risen Indeed!! Happy Resurrection Sunday!

  

Happy Resurrection Sunday!!  

We had a lovely service this morning celebrating our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!   I am so thankful that Jesus came to earth as a man, paid the penalty for our sins upon the cross and rose again on the third day!! He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!!

I wanted to share one more Easter card that I created using the DD99 “Black Tie” Challenge (Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry) and the SplitcoaststampersTLC477 “What’s the Point” Technique Challenge along with a bit of a more stylized cross from the set, Crosses of Hope.  

To create this card:

Open a blank document in My Digital Studio (MDS) and position the cross from Crosses of Hope and re-size.  Also position the “Easter” sentiment from Well Scripted and the “Happy” from Fabulous Phrases.  Print onto a 8 ½ x 11” piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Use a Circle Collection Framelit™ as a guide and using the pointillism technique, create the background (I used a Pilot V5 gel pen).  Carefully cut the cross from the lower edge to the center area, bend up a bit to position the Circle Framelit™ and use the Big Shot™ to cut out the circle around the cross.

Use a Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Write marker to color the cross and use the Pilot V5 pen to create additional depth in the black areas of the cross. 

Use a Sponge Dauber with Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink to color the background around the cross.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock and adhere the cardfront onto the Rich Razzleberry card base.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Paper Doily Sizzlit L™ to cut out a doily from Whisper White cardstock and the Window Frame Collection Framelits™ to cut out the window frame from a piece of Basic Black cardstock. 

Adhere the cross to the window frame and doily and add to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Punch the sentiment out using the XL Oval Punch and adhere to a Basic Black XL Oval piece – adhere behind the window frame and add to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

To finish off the card, add Rhinestones to the cross, sentiment and the retired Frosted Finishes Embellishment to the center. 

Stamp Sets:  Crosses of Hope, Well Scripted, Fabulous Phrases (all MDS versions)

To create this project:

Using MDS, open a blank 8.5x11 document and insert the Swallowtail image- reduce and print out onto Whisper White cardstock.

Color using the Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Write Marker and use the Gold Marker to add the gold accents to the butterfly (stipple dots along the outside edges of the wings and strokes for the inside areas), carefully cut out the butterfly. 

Use the Big Shot™ along with the Window Frames Collection Framelits™ to cut out the window from Basic Black cardstock and emboss with retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Add the retired Antique Brass brads to the corners.   

Use the Big Shot™ with the Pretty Print Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock, layer onto a piece of Brushed Gold cardstock and add the retired Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto the lower part of the card front, trim and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  Add a piece of 5/8” Basic Black Satin Ribbon to cover the seam.

Adhere the window frame to the card front and add the butterfly using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add the 5/8” Basic Black Satin Ribbon to the bottom of the panel.  Stamp the sentiment from Express Yourself using Basic Black Classic Ink onto Rich Razzleberry cardstock and create the banner using the Hexagon Punch, add the gold dots using the Gold Marker and adhere to the ribbon strip. 

Add the decorative metal piece from the retired Artisan Embellishment Kit and mount the entire panel onto the Rich Razzleberry card base to finish off the card.
