Happy Easter!!

Hello everyone...hope you are having a wonderful Easter Holiday!! We went south yesterday to take Easter cards and a little cash to our son Brian and his family..... we will go see David and his family and Steve and his family today after church and dinner. It's always fun to see what the Easter Bunny brings!! Anyway....I had to make three confirmation cards for this week so I thought today would be a good day to share them with you.

The sentiment from Our Daily Bread's Confirmation set was stamped with Elegant Eggplant and the little squiggly line is from the Clear Dollar Stamps Christian Sympathy set....it was stamped with Almost Amethyst. I used my new Nesties Fleur De Lis Squares and Martha Stewart Butterfly punches, too.
Recipe: Stamps: ODBD Confirmation, Paper: Vanilla, Almost Amethyst, Prism Classic Purple, Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Almost Amethyst, Accessories: Martha Stewart Punches, Pearls, Square Nestabilities, Nestabilities Fleur De Lis Square.

This card features the beautiful cross and dove image also from ODBD's Confirmation set. It was colored with copics and layered with Basic Grey's Origins dp. The sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps Peace for the Journey set. Sewing, a Spellbinders die cut scallop, seam binding, twine, and a button finish it off.

All three cards are just lovely, perfect for each occasion! Glad you are enjoying your Easter with family.

We are having the most gorgeous day here in Maryland, so welcome after after several days of on & off rain and gloom.
