Easter Blessings

12:00 AM

Well, I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter weekend and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. At least it's sunny here in Ontario. I've enjoyed the last couple of days off but sadly, I have to work all day at the library today. Apparently, people can't live without their books or their free internet access for one more day. *sigh*

Today's card features a new Magnolia stamp that I just got from All That Scraps....Tilda with Lamb and I just adore it. So sweet and innocent. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the Canson Drawing Paper that I am currently in love with (see yesterday's post for details) and coloured her in using my Copic markers. I did a soft wash of pink around her and blended it with my colorless blender. Does it look okay?? I need some outside opinions.

I used my new Nesties to cut her out and emboss her and drew in some grass. The card base is Blush Blossom and accented with River Rock. The designer papers are from the Porcelain collection by Basic Grey, along with the brads. I used the Threading Water Fiskars border punch, added some sheer ribbon and attached a tag with an SU sentiment. The final touches were the Prima hydrangeas and the white acrylic paint for highlights.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

May God bless you and your family. Happy Easter!!
