Hello All!
Happy Easter!
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die."
-- John 11:25-26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I am mixing it up a little. I don't break out my "non-design team" stamps too often, but I bought this Flourishes set months ago and had never used it. It really needed to see some ink!
Don't forget that you can click on the pictures to enlarge for better detail.
I used pearlescent watercolors to match the sheen and iridescents of the feather.
The beautiful papers (with the exception of the glitter papers) are from The Paper Temptress.
See my card recipe for the names.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
