So, are you ready for what I came up with? Well I actually have 2 cards to share with you. The second I just had to upload as well, because when I think Easter and Resurrection, I also think pretty bright fun dresses for my 2 girls ;D;D. Somewhat what this card is bright and fun!! But let me show # 1 first.


He has risen.........




Recipe:


Paper:PTI White, Memory Box Frond, Bazzill textured shade of green

Stamps: ODBD Happy Easter

Ink: VersaMark, white embossing powder, Chalk Box Bisque, Watercolor Pencils and my trusty Blender Pen

Accessories: green satin ribbon, Daffodil colored Dew Drops, Tim Holtz distressing tool

You might see it in this photo..the daffodil is layered. I have another side view photo of it...have a look and see. I know this is a pretty simple card, but this is exactly what I was trying to achieve here. Make a CAS card. God does not care if we make elegant and elaborate cards or clean and simple card...there are many ways of glorifying him ;D;D.

All right, on to my second card! This one is very different. A little, yep, a little more work went into this one, but the reason for that is, that I wanted it to look like one of those fun Easter dresses with all kinds of bling and flowers I was going to buy for my girls




Blessings.......
