The Empty Cross

April 2, 2017

Here is the second Easter card. I called it “The Empty Cross” because that is what is it.
Once again I used Easter Message on page 19 of the Occasions Catalog. I love the greeting in this stamp set.

Cut the cardstock as follows: Very Vanilla 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Gold Foil—5 1/4 x 4

Stamp the Cross image with Jet Black Stazon on the 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 Very Vanilla and die cut with the Layering Ovals Framelit die. Color the cross using Crumb Cake and a blender pen on the wooden cross. Use a little Wisteria Wonder with a blender pen to shadow the cloth that hangs on the cross then I went over that same area with the Wink of Stella. You can use your Wink of Stella like a blender pen but I have found that it leaves glitter in the stamp pad and if you multiply that times 60 people you end up with more glitter than ink.

Use the Layering Oval Framelits to cut the gold from the 5 1/4 x 4 sheet and the “scrap” can be used for the layering on the card. Put it between the vanilla card base and the Elegant Eggplant. Inside the card I used the “He is not here’ He has risen.” greeting.

My favorite part of my job is creating. It doesn't always come easy but this month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained beautiful Alcohol Ink papers. The papers were so beautiful and the kit included nine card bases which had the design on the front and back of the card. When cutting them apart you were able to create 18 card fronts. I started designing by cutting them apart and then went from there. Throughout the week I will post 3 cards each day for seven days that were all made with April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions

This is the final card in a series from the Impressions Abloom. If you have not see the others check my blog. This is the first one I created using Timid Tiger but for my Facebook Live I wanted to use the new In Colors.

All this week I will be posting cards created with products remaining from my recent event. This card was inspired by the card below that I created for that event. I had a focus on creating masculine cards and when I was done with the event I had a set of the undone cards remaining. I had received the New Impressions Abloom which is only available if you are a Demonstrator until May 1, 2025. After that date it will be available to anyone. I used the products that were in the packet to create this card. Of course I added a few extra things. I will give you all the instructions on the page including measurements and products used for both projects
