Easter Message.1.0317Two weeks from today.  That’s it and then Easter is here.  Yikes!  I don’t even have any Easter decorations up and I’m not sure they’ll get put up this year!  I head to the Homeland on Tuesday and am gone for a week.  Then I always have to play catch up on things when I get back and before you know it it’s Good Friday, then Easter!  Oh, well.  I guess that’s the way it goes.  Do you ever get way behind on things like I do?  Sheesh!  After all these years you’d think I could get a system or something.

This is a simple card….just a few layers and I colored the image with my ink pads and a blender pen.  That’s it!  Nothing fancy going on here.  The perfect card if you want to whip up a few of them.

Time to get busy with all of those last minute things that need to get done before I leave town.  Yikes!  That’s in 2 days!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Staming!

 

Easter Message Flowers

Easter Message.2.0317Ah…the Easter Lily.  Such a lovely flower.  I have a friend who can’t attend church on Easter or Christmas because of flower allergies.  Isn’t that a shame?  The sanctuary looks so beautiful when it’s filled with flowers.

I started this Easter card with the lilies and then thought that the fun Sale-a-bration glimmer paper would be a fun way to highlight them.  I used the glimmer paper both on the background oval and as a border on the embossed piece.

Just a reminder that the glimmer paper is no longer available as a Sale-a-bration item.  They ran out and since Sale-a-bration ends next week they won’t be ordering more.  Such a shame….the colors were so fun!  If I were to recreate this card without the glimmer paper I would just change it to regular Mint Macaron card stock.  The card stock might actually make the card a little “classier”.  What do you think?

I used my ink pads and a blender pen to color the stems and add a hint of color to the center of the flowers.  One of new favorite tools is the Petals Embossing Folder.  It’s my go-to embossing folder these days.  What’s your favorite?

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
