Embossed Cross

Good morning, all our snow has just about disappeared which is unheard of for this time of year BUT yes big BUT it is returning by the end of this week and is supposedly hanging a round for the whole of February ☃

The new release at Prickley Pear is all about Spring and the holidays we celebrate at that time of year. Today I am sharing a couple of cards with you that are in celebration of Easter although today's card could also be used as a baptism card or first holy communion:

This has to be one of my favorite from the whole collection. My card is very simple but I love the elegance of it.

I matted my card base with pearl gold card. I then used pearl white to emboss the card with a cross shaped embossing folder that is made up of holy words.

I stamped the Large Cross Stamp onto the same white card with versamark and used old gold embossing powder over the top. I then fussy cut the cross and adhered it in place using foam squares, giving it dimension.

A small crystal gem was placed in the center of the cross, no other embellishments were needed as the simpleness of the card is what makes it.

Thank you for stopping by, to see all the new release stamps head on over to the new release section of the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps website - don't forget the offers:

Kindness is like snow.......

Good afternoon from a snowy Michigan. It's been snowing on and off since Tuesday night. Unfortunately it is lake effect snow so very dry which blows around and reduces visibility!

Whilst we are talking about snow let me show you my latest design team card from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

Kindness is like snow, it beautifies everything it covers - such a true but perfect saying.

I used black card and stamped the Giant Tree Stamp with embossing ink. I then used a white tinsel embossing powder and heated it to make the tree look like it was covered with snow. 

I then used the same ink on the Kindness is Like Snow sentiment stamp and embossed it with silver embossing powder. 

I added snow fall with a white gel pen, matted my image with silver card and placed on a scalloped edge card base.
