Easter...

Hi, Friends

I'm back again with more Easter cards to share.  I've made about twenty cards this year to send to family and friends.  It's a good thing I had these made up ahead of time because I've had bad news lately regarding several of my friends.  And, when you have a heavy heart, some times you don't feel like creating.  Ann and Erica recently had husbands who passed away quite suddenly.  And, my friend, Cheryl, called me Thursday to tell me that she has cancer.  My heart is very heavy at this time.  I know God has a plan and has control of all things, but you and I know it is so difficult at times.  So, friends, if you would please keep these dear sweet ladies in your prayers, I would appreciate it....thank you!

Ok, first up is my card using a technique that is new to me.  I saw it on Rachel's blog here...Rachel Alvarado(The Unpampered Stamper).   She described how to do the "tunneling" effect.  It gives great depth for your project.  Once again, I used the Sunny Studio stamp set(Easter Wishes) for my cards.  I used distress ink for the sky and colored the images with copics.  A ribbon to finish the card.

Next up,  is my card using the negative of a MFT die from the set Blueprints 19.  Distress inks were applied with a brush for the sky and grass.  Copics were used for the images.  And, just for interest a border with distress inks around the edges. 

And, for my final card using the same stamp set, I embossed a section of the card and applied gems.  A very simple card, but just something different.  The sentiment is hidden behind the fold.

Well, that's all for now until Monday when I reveal my April planner pages for Paper Sweeties.  Please take good care, my friends, and have a wonderful weekend! 

Hugs!!
