The Miracle of Easter

Hello friends! My Easter stash is growing and I'm so excited! I'm also excited that Easter is so much later this year than it was last year so I have ample time to make special preparations! As you can see, I made two cards to share with you today using the same basic elements with different sentiments.

To begin the pair, I die cut all of the pieces for the tulips using the Into the Blooms: Tulips Die from white cardstock and then colored them using distress oxide inks and finger daubers. I used a combination of liquid glue and foam squares to assemble the blooms.

For this card I used the Thoughts of Easter Sentiments Stamp Set; I stamped the verse in black on Lilac Grace cardstock and then stamped the Rejoice! on white and die cut it using the Thoughts of Easter Sentiments Die.

The background on both cards is the same. I used the Fantastic Front: Scalloped Frame Die and cut it from white cardstock. I added it to an A2 panel of Lilac Grace cardstock using foam squares. I added the tulips to the center of the Rejoice card using foam squares and added teh sentiments.

This card features the Reflections February stamp set and the coordinating Reflections: February Die. I heat embossed the verse in white and then die cut it out. I prefer to do the embossing first so it won't warp the die cut piece.

I added the sentiment to the background panel and then arranged the tulips around the edges. Each card got a few dew drops on the leaves and tulips for a fun springtime effect. Thanks for fluttering by!
