Passover

Next week starts Passover so I made this card for my husband's family. Because I wish not to offend anyone, I checked with my sister-in-law before posting this card. I do not have a stamp that says Passover but I did have a Happy Pesach so I used that one. I made the background using my Star of David stamp. I then sponged the smaller square blue and embossed "Happy Pesach" using White Craft ink, and clear embossing dust. I then heated up the dust and was able to get this nice bright statement. I felt like it needed something more and because I didn't want to introduce a new color I didn't want to use the brads I had on hand. Therefore, I added Ice Stickles Glitter Glue. I am very happy with the results. Hopefully next year I will be able to design something a little more elaborate. I have an idea in mind but have to see how to put my idea on paper.

Easter Blessing





I used for the base of a card a really soft blue card stock paper that I was fortunate to receive from my sister-in-law. I then added the designer paper pack that was in the recent Stampin' Up mini pack. I colored the flower with colored pencils and blender pen. When I putting the card together I thought the flower needed something in the background and sponged it with Ranger Ink Orange Marmalade. I added Diamond Stickles to the middle of the flower to give it a little sparkle and stamped "Easter Blessings" and the design on the side in Lavender.
