My entire card was driven by the little banner on the sketch. I just purchased Tiny Words Faith by Simon Says Stamp. Those little sentiments are perfect for the banner! Plus, when I went through my Easter stash - I realized I was one card short. Perfect!!
Also new to me on this card are the flowers. I recently placed an order at Ink Blot Shop. These flowers were not part of the reason I was in their shop but you know how it is. I'm already dropping things in my shopping cart; I'm already paying postage. Of course 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4) other stamp sets just jumped in the cart!! I do love this set. It's Botanical Borders - four borders that work throughout the seasons. They are clean and easy to color - which made this card a breeze to put together.
I pulled out my favorite Easter cross - Old Rugged Cross by Taylored Expressions. There are three sizes, plus the perfect cloth to drape over them. While I was adhering the vellum, I got a messy blob - which then drove me to pull out these bitty Dancing Butterflies by Memory Box. It covered my blob and then I let them flutter around the sentiment. Then just a bit of sparkle from Pretty Pink Posh - Sea Glass jewels.
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
