My card today is created using the His Grace stamp set. It is a lovely stamp set and perfect for Easter.

My design today comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week.

It starts with a Whisper White card base and then two layers of mats.  The Highland Heather mat shows through the cross.  The Mossy Meadow and Highland Heather card stock are adhered together using Liquid Glue.  Take a panel of Sahara Sand or Crumb Cake card stock and using one of the Cross of Hope Framelits Dies to cut the cross in the center of the panel.

I stamped the flower garland twice around the cross using Crumb Cake ink.  I then used the White Watercolor pencil from the Watercolor Pencil set to color all the flowers and leaves and then used a Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker to color the flowers and leaves  Using the White Watercolor pencil first allows for a softer color.

The Crumb Cake panel is adhered to the Highland Heather panel using Liquid Glue, then the cross is glued into the spot where it had been cut.  A length of Linen Thread is wrapped around the three panels and attached on the back with  Glue Dots.  A bow is made and popped in the center of the three strands of thread with a Glue Dot.

The greeting is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.  It was cut out the shape of the stamp using Paper Snips.  By accident, it became popped where it is.  I was interrupted and not thinking laid the greeting down to go take care of what interrupted me, when I returned it was stuck tight so I had to leave in this spot.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake on a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and matted on a Highland Heather panel which is then adhered to the Whisper White card base. Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Markers were used coloring the flower flourish from the Hold on to Hope stamp set.  I colored each flower and leave individually and since I was using Stampin’ Write Markers to color.  I would color a flower or leave and then stamp.  Took a bit of time, but it turned out great.

Thank you for stopping by today.  My wish is for your encouragement and inspiration in your own creations from visiting here.  Hope your day has been blessed!
