Easter Blessings

Today I have a card to share from last week's Gina K Designs release.  This is a card that I made using Rupa's new set "Easter Blessings"  

To make this multi-colored cross I used my Stampin' Up markers to ink directly to the stamp. I used So Saffron for the cross, and then Old Olive and Pretty in Pink for the vine and flowers.

Once I had the elements all inked, I huffed to remoisten the ink and stamped to my Gina K Pure Luxury Ivory Cardstock.  To give some extra dimension to the cross, I used my Versamarker to ink apply Versamark only to the cross, then I coated it with embossing powder and heat embossed.

I've intentionally left this without a sentiment, it could be used for an Easter card, for a first communion card or for a baptismal card. I love to have cards on hand that I can add the sentiments to as I need them. 

You've heard me rave about Gina K's Pure Luxury cardstock before, but I'm simply thrilled that it now comes in Ivory as well. Be sure to check it out in both layering and base weights. I love having an ivory paper to use with my Copic markers, and for cardbases.  Between the white and ivory Luxury Cardstock offerings, I've got a cardbase to match all my patterned papers.

If you haven't already done so, be sure to head on over to StampTV to check out the daily challenges Monday through Friday each week.
