Easter Blessings

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

Well, the first week of April has brought back some winter temps in the Pittsburgh area. We are going downtown for a theater show on Wednesday and it's definitely going to be winter coat weather. 

We are going to see The Thorn. It was a Christmas gift from our son and a dinner gift card to go along with it. It's the story of creation and weaves through time highlighting the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. A perfect show for Easter. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #1045. We were to use granny apple green, fresh freesia and bubble bath for the color trio. Optional was anything goes. I chose a 4th color of petunia pop.

My fun fold design is called a double easel fold. I have measurements, photos and a video link of another card I made using this fold - see that here.

The background designer paper is from the Divinity Designs "Heavenly Skies" paper collection. I saw a card on Pinterest from Kendra Sands and used that for inspiration. I changed it up with different dies, colors and sentiment to make it my own.

The He is Risen phrase & Cross are a die from CottageCutz. I stamped my sentiment in petunia pop ink (my optional item) to finish up my card.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time.......God bless.
