More Easter Cards

Hi friends! I'm popping in today with a few Easter cards I've made this month with the awesome Sweet 'n Sassy release.

I started this card, by stamping the He, is, and Risen sentiments from He is Risen on a 2.5 x 3.5" panel of cardstock. I then colored in the words with Copic markers and added a few white gel pen accents. I decided I wanted a bit of a background instead of the stark white, so I masked off the He and the Risen words with post-it notes and then smooshed some mustard seed and squeezed lemonade distress oxide for the background.

When this was dry I stamped the image of the three crosses at the bottom of the panel and colored in the hills. This panel is matted with black cardstock and then I layered this onto yellow cardstock, embossed with a sun ray embossing folder.

Continuing with the yellow theme, I started my next card with the crown of thorns image, from He is Risen stamping once in frayed burlap distress oxide and then rotated the stamp and stamped again to form a completed crown. I used a frayed burlap distress marker to connect the lines where the two stamped impressions met, then used a waterbrush to spread the stamped ink around to "color" the image.

I then stamped the Risen sentiment in the center of the crown with Copic safe ink and colored with Copic markers. Serendipitously, I set my stamp set down on my desk over my stamped panel, and just happened to see that the hill with crosses image looked like it fit the word Risen perfectly. So I stamped risen again on post it note paper, then cut out the tops of all the letters to mask off my colored letters and stamped the cross above the word inside the crown. Love how well it works together, don't you think? I finished coloring the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut around the crown.

Next, I pulled out the Doodled Flowers March Stamp of the Month set. The stamp of the month is available this month exclusively as a FREE gift with a $75 or more purchase. Yippee! I placed all of the floral images onto my MISTI stamp platform and stamped them in both mustard seed and spiced marmalade distress oxides. I then accented some of the circle elements on the panel with orange Nuvo drops. Next I stamped a single flower and leaf image, then colored with Copic markers and trimmed by hand to place at the bottom of the crown of thorns. My final touch was a tiny rhinestone in the center of the flower.

My final card for today is an almost one layer card I created pairing some previous releases with the new He is Risen and All in All sets. I started with bristol cardstock, then stamped the crown of thorns from He is Risen in distress ink and used a waterbrush to color it in, using just the stamped ink.

Next I stamped the three sentiment stamps from All in All to read Jesus paid it all. I pulled out some tumbled glass and broken china distress inks and blended all around for the background. Then I stamped tiny portions of the music background from Texture Tiles 1 in peacock feathers all around. I loved how things turned out, but felt I needed something in the corner. I decided on one of the hearts from the Filigree Hearts set. I was a little too chicken to commit to stamping it on this background I loved so much, so stamped it separately, then sponged with the same inks and cut out to pop up on the card. I finished off with a few splatters of frayed burlap ink and some sponging around the edges.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderfully inspired day.
