He is Risen!

With this being the last week of the Flourishes sale coming up and my last week of posting for the company....I thought I’d return to some of my first loves.  I hope you enjoy...

One of my first loves is my love for my Saviour - Jesus.  It shapes everything that I am.  So I wanted to symbolize that with this lovely set - He is Risen, Marcy really did a beautiful job illustrating this set (no surprise :).  I stamped it with VersaFine ink onto Watercolour paper so that I could return to one of my other first loves - watercolouring.  It’s how I first started colouring any of my stamped creations and though I use it less, it still is special to me to spread ink with a brush on paper and bring life and colour to something.  I used Letraset Aqua Markers and a waterbrush for the watercolouring.  It works well for stamped creations because you can wash colour onto an acrylic block and use it like a palette, or because they have really fine pen tips you can add it direct to your watercolor paper and get really pigmented colour that you can wash in.    

I decided to go with the simplicity of a one-layer card to really accent the image.  On the background of the paper I washed in clouds, some softly stamped sentiments from the set and then another set of Flourishes’ So Distressed in Memento Gray Flannel.   

Along the bottom of the card I used my Curvy Spellbinders die to cut the curve off of the bottom of the card and added a more decorative curve with the dies from Color Made Easy - Tonal Gray cardstock. 

Lastly I added some washi tape and seambinding with some enamel dots.  

And here is the inside of the card.  Hope you enjoyed some of the return to my first loves!
