I have an easy and special card for you today that was the result of a dream I had. It's hard to explain and kinda crazy but I often dream design ideas, particularly cards but also quilting or knitting and then wake up anxious to remember all the details. If I can't get to it soonish, I try to write down the ideas so I can see if my dream can become a reality. Last night, I dreamed this Easter card and I have it to show you today!
The specifics of my dream were the sponged ground and sky with a cross on a hill and then some colorful butterflies signifying new life and resurrection. I used some Shimmery White card stock for my background because that is really fun to sponge on. I used daubers with Pear Pizzaz ink and Pool Party ink and I used the cross stamp from "Hold On To Hope". I brainstormed a few different ideas with butterflies including stamping, die cutting and a punch and settled on heat embossed butterflies on some "See a Silhouette" Designer Series Paper that mostly featured tones of blue and green. I added a little bit of braid and baker's twine and pulled out a retired Easter stamp from the "His Grace" set from last year and I was done! I made four of these to get out to my kids with one leftover for me to keep as a sample.
I decided since I was doing this, I might as well show you how so I hopped on YouTube and did a video as well!
I invite you to still celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus by taking part in online church in your area. And, in a shameless plug for the worship services my kids are involved in, check out:
Trinity Church - Bozeman
Faith Chapel - Billings
Both will have services posted on Friday for Good Friday and Sunday for Easter. Hallelujah, He is Risen Indeed!
Have a very Blessed Easter!
Sarah
