Because He Lives

Good Afternoon Friends.  I have a card to show y'all today.  The theme for this one is Easter/Spring over at Digi Sketch.  They wanted to see bunnies, Easter Eggs, Chicks, Lambs or Flowers.  To me, Easter isn't just about the cutesy stuff.  There is a bigger meaning behind why we celebrate the holiday of Easter.  That is what my Easter card represents.

I used a beautiful image from Designed 2 Delight (now From the Heart) and used my BICS and Chromatix pens to color the image.  I picked a sentiment that reflected the reason I celebrate Easter from Desert Diva.  I colored the sash a deep purple as purple is the color of royalty.  I did some white gel pen work for highlights.    All the card stock is from Colorbok and I didn't need any DP for this card because the image itself needs to take the focus.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great rest of your Sunday.  God bless y'all.

Flower Basket

Welcome back to my blog.  I  have a card for you today that uses an images from Designed2Delight's progressive challenge.


This month there were three different baskets you could choose from, an Easter Egg basket, a Shamrock basket, and this Flower basket.  I decided to use this one.  I began by printing off the image on Neenah card stock (still my favorite) and coloring it with American Crafts Chromatix pens and Glitter Gel pens. I used a sketch from Sketch Saturday to make this one.  I matted the image on a panel of Pink from Recollections.  The card base is Old Olive from SU and measures 5.5"x5.5".  I used paper from ATD.  I ran each paper through one of my embossing folders to give it some texture.  The butterfly paper uses D'vine Swirls and the striped paper uses Swiss Dot.  I added some very thin gold colored Mulberry Paper as the background and ran that one through Darice's Argyle EF.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.  I hope you enjoyed your visit.  God bless y'all.
