Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with a twist of Easter

Morning all

Greetings from....... let me think, i'll be somewhere over South Africa I think when this goes live, heading home. 

This weeks challenge for Crafty Catz is my turn to host and ooops! not here, obviously. So a big thanks to Carol and Sue for covering in my absence to make sure it all goes live on time! As always our challenge is Anything Goes and the twist you can add, if you'd like, is to make it an Easter Card

So Easter is kind of a big deal for me, more so even then Christmas. As a Christian it's the chance to start again, face another 12 months renewed, forgiven and hopefully wiser. So with that being said, my card this week is very simply as a reflection of my faith. 

I'm get really bored of square cards but finding shaped cards is really hard (please leave suggestions of online companies that stock anything in packs bigger than 5/6.) so i used by sizzix shaped dies to create this card and the background. I used a nellie snellen die for the circle and the cross is a beautiful die by spellbinders, I used woodware punches for the flowers and leaves and used shimmer paper for everything. The design is finished with a few pearls.

Hope you like it, hope you like the challenge. I'll see you all soon. Until next time, happy crafting! 

Happy Easter

He is Risen!  Alleluia!

 

Wishing you all a blessed and pleasant Easter Sunday. Whether you have faith or not, may you have a wonderful day and for those of you so inclined - one with much chocolate also!

 

Just a quick card to share today, which was my Easter card for close friends. I've been so busy that actually it's been hard getting anything made en mass but I did manage to knock out 4 of these just in time:

The cross is a Marianne D die, circle is die cut, background shape is hand cut, flowers and leaves are all punches of varying makes.

 

I was rather pleased with them in the end. Hope they've gone down well with the recipients.

 

Whatever you're up to today, hope you have a good one.

 

Until next time. Happy crafting!

 

He is Risen! Easter Card

Morning!

Well my post title may be a week premature but today is Palm Sunday and Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem has been celebrated - with Holy week upon us and Easter Sunday next week, it seems the perfect time to share my Easter card design for this year.

The image is from Just Inklined and I layered it up 3 times on top of the base image. I coloured it in using my trusty promarkers in; Caramel, Henna, Buttercup, Gold, Pear Green and Moss. The background image is from Heartfelt Creations; Easter Lilies Set, stamped in Pumice Stone, the edge of the card has been accented using Versa Magic: Thatched Straw and the ribbon and gems are from stash.

 

Thanks for stopping by to look. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
