The Good News

Hello SWEET Friends! It's Monika here today with an Easter card. What a wonderful time of the year it is as we are getting ready to celebrate our Lord's resurrection. He is alive!

 

 

For my card, I used three different clear stamp sets: Creative Worship: The Good News, Floral Greetings and He Lives.

I used a piece of acetate for the partial window. It adds a wonderful dimensional look when the card is open. It feels like you are looking up onto the hill and seeing the crosses in the great distance.

The floral image was heat embossed with gold embossing powder and colored with water colors.

 

 

The hill was sponged using a torn piece of paper as the stencil.

I stamped the big cross first, then inked up the image with the 3 small crosses and masked off the middle cross with washi tape before stamping it.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

 

 

Happy Easter!

He is not here, but is risen!

May every joy be yours on this Easter Day!  (Also sending wishes to Korin for a happy birthday!)

I used the Sweet 'n Sassy He Lives stamp set and the Rugged Cross die on my card today.  I kept the background pretty simple to keep the focus on the cross.

May all the blessings of Easter be with you...I hope this day brings joy to your heart!

♥  Diane

 



Jesus Paid it All ~

 

Good Morning Sweet'nSassy fans! Mary here sharing with you another card made with a combination of my favourite sets this time of year. This card is created with He Lives and cut out using the matching Rugged Cross die. This verse from an old hymn is one of the six sentiments from Jesus Paid it all set. The cross is planted in the mounds of dirt from the Calvary die.

I coloured the cross image using various inks and pulling it with my watercolour brush. I layered it onto black cardstock to create a shadow. The background is created using sponges, inks and a masking technique. The sentiment is stamped using black versafine ink.

Don't forget, Sweet 'n Sassy is releasing some fantastic new images, sentiments and dies!  Our release party is tonight at 8pm EST in our Splitcoaststampers Member Company Forum.  Don't miss the fun!! 

Thank you for stopping by.

He Lives ~

Hello everyone, Spring is here and there are signs of it everywhere. The forsythias are bright and full on our bush this year...it makes me happy! With new life springing forth in the natural, I cannot help but turn to the Life of Christ within the heart of the believer and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. My card declares what I feel in my spirit as I look around me.

I chose He Lives for my card and coupled it with this weeks sketch and colour challenges this week over at Splitcoaststampers SC377 & CC367. This image comes with a variety of six sentiments, all appropriate for the upcoming Easter holiday or they would work for any card declaring your faith. Don't you just love these stamps for that very reason? Inspirational and beautiful all together.

Thank you for joining me! Enjoy your day.
~ Mary
