Easter Cross & Lilies

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

It's a rainy and cold day here in Pittsburgh. So perfect for staying indoors and getting crafty. I still need several Easter cards to make. I bought a paper pad that will be perfect for some quick cards. So my plan is to work on those today. 

I have a lot of household chores to get done today but I wanted to get this Blog post done before I start cleaning. It will go quick because I keep up daily with any clutter that is sitting around. Sometimes I wonder how larger families keep up with everything. There are just the two of us here and I am picking up every day. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #991 on Splitcoaststampers. Our color trio was melon mambo, lemon lolly and pretty peacock.. We also had an option of anything goes. I chose designer paper.

melon mambo, lemon lolly, pretty peacock

For my Easter card I started with my background designer paper. It's from the Divinity Designs "heavenly skies" collection.

From there I decided on my layout and used an Easter cross and added some lilies. The cross is cut from pecan pie (neutral) cardstock. The lilies and stems I cut from Bristol smooth and I shaded with picked raspberry distress and forest moss ink.

The He is Risen phrase is cut in pretty peacock cardstock. The dies I used are from Cottagecutz. I added a lemon lolly layer to the designer paper and the card base is melon mambo. 

That completes this card and this post. So, until next time.....God bless.
