Easter Thank you

Happy Holy Week friends.  This week I have been busy busy busy trying to get all my Easter cards done.  This year I needed to make several "thank you" cards since our youngest is being baptized, confirmed and receiving his 1st communion during Easter Vigil.  I found a lot of inspiration from Pinterest.

I also got my inspiration from this week's color challenge over at Pals Paper Arts. I loved using these colors together and they worked wonderfully.

For this card, I cut my Mint Macaron card stock to A2 on the long side so that it will open from the bottom.  I then cut my card base from Whisper White card stock and I then embossed it around the edges 3/4" using the Confetti TIEF from the current Occasions catalog.  It wasn't the embossing folder I first had in mind, but I must admit that it looks nice.

I then stamped a cross from (retired) Crosses of Hope and the smaller flower from (retired) Secret Garden using Blushing Bride stampin' pad. I stamped 2 set of leaves also from (retired) Secret Garden in Mint Macaron and 3 flowers from Bloomin' Love in So Saffron.  I used my framelits from the corresponding matches for the flowers and leaves and fussy cut the cross.

I attached the card base using my snail and then attached the leaves and larger flower using my tom bow glue.  The cross and smaller flowers are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals for added dimension to the card. I added a few flat back pearls and it was done.  

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  Enjoy the rest of your day and Happy Easter.
