He is Risen

As Easter approaches, I wanted to reflect on the religious meaning of the holiday.  I love the new crosses available with the March New Release, so used one on my card.

 I stamped just the center portion of the large Cross stamp on White cardstock and on a purple cardstock. I cut out the white one and layered it on the purple one.  The cross is embossed with Enamel Embossing Powder.
 I used my small quilting ruler and measured in 1/8" and laid down a strip of 1/4" Scor Tape all around the edge of the cardstock.  I rubbed over the cardstock with the antistatic bag, then removed the top film and covered it with embossing powder.
 As always, the shimmer makes it so hard to get a good picture : )  I wish for you a Blessed Easter!

Especially For You

Good morning.
Happy Saturday to you!!  Any plans this weekend?
Me?  Nope...I am staying in and staying in my PJ's this weekend.
So while I stay comfy, let me share a card I made for this weeks challenge at SweetStamps:
TECHNIQUE SPOTLIGHT CHALLENGE:
Embossing Paste and Stencils

I made this card with my little sister in mind.  She just got a new job and I am so happy for her.  She is doing it all on her own, working double shifts, with no really schedule to her own everyday life.  So I was excited to receive news that she got a job at HP!!  Even though she is my little sister, I still had to make something a little grown up for her!!  :)

After I masked off the areas that I wanted to stencil. I took my Copic multi-liner and traced the entire stencil that would be exposed.  Then I went over it with the white embossing paste.  After it dried I dressed it up a little with some pearls and the pleated ribbon.

A very simple but, yet sophisticated for the youngest of siblings. :)
Have a great weekend and  thanks for stopping by today!!
See you soon.
