His Love

Good afternoon, I'm back with my 2nd showcase today for the new release at Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

Again this one is Easter themed:

I started with matting my card with yellow and green card. I then water-colored a wash on some watercolor card. Once dry I then stamped the Tall Cross and Wishing You an Easter stamps using Versafine ink. This was then adhered to my card base. Nothing else was needed as I didn't want to distract from the simplicity of the card

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.

On to my make for this month. Spring is almost upon us and I need to keep reminding myself of this so I decided that would be my theme:

Meet Tilda Decorates Easter. I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored her with Spectrum Noir Markers and ink the edges of the image card with distress ink.

I then chose coordinating papers from my stash and matted these onto green card. I inked a doily with the same distress color before arranging my layers onto a white card base.

I chose some Wild Orchid Flowers and arranged these before adhering to my card using a hot glue gun. I then used White opal liquid pearls on the image and corners of the card just to balance the design.

I love using flowers on my cards - I do have quite a stock of them but they look so pretty in the boxes that I don't like separating them :)

I hope you like my design and this inspires you to come and join our 1st challenge!
