Happy Easter!!!

Hello and Happy Easter to you all! Today brings another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge! Sweet, wonderful Rebekka is our hostess this week, and she has chosen Luke 24:46-47 ESV for today's Scripture.

(46) and (Jesus) said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, (47) and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

Becky's challenge is to make a round card! The DT have made Easter cards for you! Happy and Blessed Easter!

A perfect Scripture for Easter Sunday, and I know Becky will have a wonderful devotional to share on the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge blog. I am away celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior with family, and today also is my granddaughter's birthday, so we have a double reason to celebrate! For that reason, my post is short... but I hope you are having a wonderful Easter celebration and taking the time to thank God for His indescribable gift!!!

I made this card using Our Daily Bread designs Cross of Christ set and I am the Way set. I also wanted to play along at Joan's Garden's challenge #15, and her challenge was to make a white and gold Easter card with very few or no embellishments, and we had to use some embossing. I think this is the first time I've EVER made a card with NO embellishments! LOL! However, with the gold embossing, it seems somehow like it is enough. I really wanted to add some ribbon and pearls, but I kept true to the challenge, so here you have it. I stamped the cross in VersaMark and heat embossed with Ranger fine detail gold, then I stamped the sentiment on vellum and heat embossed that. I cut the circles together so they lined up perfectly, and adhered them together. I cut the round base with my Spellbinders Circles Grand, using my Grand Calibur, and then used a Marianne die to cut the Recollections Brushed Gold that I used for the frame. I then embossed three lilies, cut them out and popped them up on dimensionals on my vellum. I do love the softness vellum gives.

Our sponsor this week is Serendipity Stamps! I love their stamps and I'm sure you will too, so play along for a chance to win A QCL sized cling set of the winner's choice!
