Quilted Easter

 I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this quilt themed Easter card using their He Lives stamps and dies. You can find a tutorial for creating the Herringbone Quilt Background in this blog post from Julie's Stamping Spot. After I completed mine, I die cut the panel with a scalloped border die. The flowers were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I added a bit of cheesecloth to help the flowers stand out from the background a little more.

Book Lover's Card

 Today's floral book card was created for Creative Worship Stamps book/reading theme this month. I embossed the books on black card stock using white embossing powder. The main images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens before adding white splatters with diluted acrylic paint. Now to decide which of my book-loving friends to send this too. 😊

Pretty Poppies

   I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this floral reminder that God's mercies are new every morning. I started by spritzing a piece of mixed media paper with mica spray. Next, I embossed text from the Scipty Background set in white and tore down the right side. The white card panel is embossed with the Botanical 3D embossing folder and layered on a piece of black card stock. The flowers were stamped on mixed media paper, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens, and splattered with diluted white acrylic paint. Three tiny sequins finish off this card.
