Project Inspiration {He Is Risen}

It's my turn for this weekend's Project Inspiration feature for Papertrey Ink! I thought I'd sneak in one more Easter card before the big day, but that actually isn't true, because I sat down yesterday to make ANOTHER! haha! Easter and spring are so special and wonderful so it's hard not to keep creating!

This card uses a good mix of old and new stamps and dies, but I love how it turned out! 

Follow along with me as I show you how to create this card in six easy steps!

Step 1: Foil a panel of white cardstock using the Framed in Flowers Hot Foil Plate with silver foil. Cut it out using the Rounded Rectangles: Pierced Die. It is the perfect size to cut around the foiling. Add some ink blending to the panel using Lilac Grace, Aqua Mist, Harvest Gold, Pale Peony, and Berry Sorbet ink.

Step 2: Cut the window using the Stained Glass Window Die three times and glue them together. I used woodgrain cardstock for the top layer for added detail. Glue it to the foiled panel using liquid glue.

Step 3: Heat emboss the sentiment in silver using the Just Sentiments: Easter Mini Stamp Set on a strip of vellum and secure it to the back of the panel using clear tape or the adhesive of your choice.

Step 4: Cut the flowers and foliage using the Into the Blooms: Spring Basket Die and the Simply Birds Die from white cardstock. Color them with dye inks and blender brushes. Arrange them around the window and add glitter.

Step 5: Cut the cross three times from Kraft cardstock using the The Bigs Easter Sentiments Die and glue them together. Stamp the cross image on the top one (before you glue them together) using the The Bigs Easter Sentiments Stamp Set and vintage photo distress ink. Tuck it slightly behind the vellum and secure with adhesive.

Step 6: Cut the frame twice from woodgrain cardstock using the Border Bling: Skinny Vees Frame Die and glue them together. Add some Aqua Mist ink and Hawaiian Shores ink splatter over the top. Glue it to a top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue and then add the focal panel over the top using foam squares.

I did add some marker splatter to the lilies and the pink flowers for added detail.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! Thanks for fluttering by!
