A Cross with a Crown- He is Risen!

I try to make a card each Easter with a cross. I made one last year you can see it here.

I decided I wanted to make one similar, but I wanted Jesus’s crown on it.

I used the two smallest dies of Deckled Circles to make the base of the crown- with Early Espresso. For the thorn, I used dies from Lifetime of Love with Gold Foil. My husband thought it was perfect!

The cross is Crumb Cake embossed with Timber 3D embossing folder (all measurements below).

I wanted there to be a hill or dirt at the bottom. Seaside Bay dies have a die that works! I used Early Espresso.

For the background, I used Basic White and colored lightly with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink. I embossed with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. I then used my scissors along the edges to make them a little distressed.

“He is Risen” is from the Easter Lilies stamp set. I stamped with Versamark on Basic White and embossed with gold powder. I then die cut with the smallest rectangle from the Everyday Detail dies.

White & Gold Easter Lily- He is Risen!

I was browsing through my DSP and started looking at the beautiful Nature’s Sweetness DSP. It is GORGEOUS! I wanted to put a white lily from the Easter Lilies dies on top.

I die cut the flower with Basic White and the Gold Foil sheets. It looked so pretty already, but I wanted to give it a little more color. Using the Gold Metallic Enamel Effects and a sponge (put some of the Enamel Effects on a Silicone Craft Sheet and lightly pick up with the sponge) I added color to all of the white.

The circle/leaves frame behind it is from the Lifetime of Love dies. I added Enamel to that, too.

The pieces in the top left and bottom right corners are from the Notes of Nature dies. I die cut one piece, cut two pieces out of it and added Enamel to it.

The sentiment is from Easter Lilies. I stamped with Versamark on Basic White, embossed with gold powder and die cut with the Everyday Details die. No Enamel on this- I wanted it to stand out. It’s on Dimensionals.
