Hello again, Pals! I have been dying to share this gorgeous Easter card that I made for my daddy using the Easter Cross Stamp Set. You may remember that I shared a card using the Crosses 2 Stamp set a few days ago. I love how these sets all coordinate beautifully together!
I started by using the same trick that I shared in my previous post – using the negative space from the die-cut as a template for stamping and die-cutting the cross. It makes lining the die up so easy-peasy! I also stamped the beautiful lilies at the same time. I colored the images up with Copic markers and I fussy cut the lilies. If you know me, you know that was a labor of love for me because I can’t stand fussy cutting and will avoid it if at all possible!
I really wanted the cross to be the star of the show, so I decided to go with a clean and simple look. I dry-embossed a white panel using one of my favorite embossing folders in my stash and adhered it to the card base. I stamped the beautiful Hallelujah sentiment on a white strip, and backed it with coral cardstock, which matched the lilies perfectly!
I spooled some gold metallic thread into a nest on the card front and strategically placed some mini glue dots down where they would be hidden behind the cross and hold the thread in place. I arranged the lilies on the cross, and I trimmed the stems off of them, before adhering the cross to the card front.
I know my dad will love this when he receives it and I hope you do too! Thank you so much for hanging out with me for a few minutes!
Xoxo, Kim
