Our theme this time at Double D Challenge Blog is Easter. I am sure everyone has Easter memories. For me Easter revolves pleasant memories. When I was young it was Easter egg hunts, the Easter bunny and an Easter basket filled with candy. As I matured, I remember sunrise service in the park, Easter cantatas, new outfits from head to toe including an Easter bonnet(which shows my age). Now I look at Easter as a time to rejoice that God sent his Son to pay for my sins and I am forever free to worship and praise Him.
For this challenge Diane has chosen a fun Mood Board.
I had some tulip die cuts from the Greetery that a friend sent me to try out. I decided to use them for this challenge.
I started with a piece of pink card stock and then stenciled it with an Altenew stencil in shades of pink. I cut an oval from this using a Poppy Stamp oval die and then placed it back in the center with a white background behind. I added some color to the tulip die cut with a blending brush and some Altenew inks. I added a Creative Expressions Thinking of you sentiment for the finished card.
We hope you join us for this challenge at Double D Challenge Blog. If you do, you will hafe the chance to win this darling stamp set from Lawn Fawn and an Easter card to send to a special person in your life.
Oh Kathy, this is just BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT!! Sure to bring oohs & awws! Have a great week! Hugs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, love that stenciled background! Those tulips are magnificent, a sure sign of Spring! Oh yes, sunrise services in the freezing cold....don't forget the little white gloves with perhaps a little smeared chocolate on them lol Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Kathy! I have many of the same youthful memories, but freedom in Jesus and His love is the most wonderful gift of all! Happy Easter season!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Kathy, those tulips are gorgeous and you have featured them so well! Don't feel bad, I too remember Easter bonnets, that and we always had a fuzzy rabbit toy, which one year I preceded to drop mine in a mud puddle!!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this entire post about Easter and the card was the iceing on the cake. Such great memories and how they have changed over the years. Reminds me of mine and I wore an new het too. Your lucious pink card with that tulip and stenciled background is sumptuous!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card Kathy. Lovely colour - so soft and feminine. Have a blessed Easter.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this!! I am such a fan of die cut flowers, and yours is simply FABULOUS!!! Beautiful color and design, and the stenciling is GENIUS!!!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this is, Kathy! Really love those tulips and the pretty card to support them. I always got a new Easter outfit head to toe, too. Patent leather Mary Janes, lace ruffled ankle socks, a pretty dress with puffy sleeves and the petticoat the fuller the better. Oh, also the gloves and, yes... the bonnet! Of course, I was pretty young then. You've brought back fond memories today!
