Peaceful Rejoicing

The challenge yesterday for Digi Day at the Sweet 'n Sassy group on SNR was to create an Easter themed card or project, and the cards everyone shared so far are absolutely gorgeous.

Continuing on the Easter theme, I chose Christ Arose for my card today. I had this beautiful digi stamp all printed out, ready to be colored ever since Korin released it. I wish I could do this beautiful image justice. There are some images that provide peace, tranquility, hope and this image does just that.

I printed Christ Arose on Neenah Solar White card stock then colored it with copics. I pulled out my Martha Stewart border & corner punch set which took me a minute to figure out, lo. I also used my Fleur De Lis shapeabilities die cut in half as an added accent. I added the rhinestones as an after thought which I am still not too sure about.

If you haven't checked out the Sweet 'n Sassy store, you've got to head over there and check out the latest digital stamps that Korin has been releasing. There is something for everyone :-).

Don't forget to play along with this week's Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Day challenge at SNR.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Christ Arose!

This set has one of the most beautiful crosses! Just such a wonderful image and a real pleasure to color. I didn't want to add a lot of embellishments to this one, it's beauty really stands alone.

Added clear glitter to some of the flowers, but as usual with glitter - doesn't photograph well. The flower at the side (center is one of the sentiments in this set) almost went on this card - but once I started coloring, this image took on a life of its own (:  and that little flower just didnt fit this card. Have several images printed and in the process of coloring - will use it on one of them. This set is my choice for my Easter cards this year!

I just love it !!! Cannot believe Easter is right around the corner....

have a blessed day, here's hoping the rain stops today!

What a fun month and so many fantastic digis to play with! I've got a couple of projects to share with you on my last post as a guest designer for Sweet n Sassy Digis. My head is still spinning from trying to decide what fantastic images to use. There are just so many to choose from!
There's this widow at our church that my husband has a soft spot for, so I wanted to put together a little something sweet he could give her for Easter. I think he will enjoy giving it to her more than she'll enjoy the gift itself but then that's usually the case with gift giving. I created a candy bar wrap for a one of those large chocolate bars.

I used the Christ Arose set which has this beautiful image, the sentiment I used, plus several other sentiments. I know the robes on the cross are usually colored with royal purple, but I wanted to use the scarlet to symbolize the blood that was shed on the cross. I colored the image with my copics and prisma pencils. There's no real trick to the wrap. I just measured the candy bar and scored my card stock appropriately. I used a velcro closure to keep it closed.
The Thursday Digi Day Challenge at SNR this week was "silly for stripes". I love these challenges but just have a very hard time getting them finished on Thursday. It's that day job I have that's slowing me down! Anyway, a day late and a dollar short, I wanted to show you the card I created for the challenge.

This card uses the Fenton Frog image which you can pick up for less than a dollar and that's a lot of cute for less than a buck. There's lots of texture on this one. You can't tell it very well in the picture but the floral paper has glazed flowers on it, the prima flowers have chunky glitter on them, and the ribbon is fringed.
Can you believe February is gone? Spring will be here before we know it, so keep coloring all those beautiful flowers to tide us over until the real thing arrives!
