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.

Measurements:

Basic White 4-1/4″ x 11″ Scored at 5-1/2″

Basic White 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″

Crumb Cake 3/4″ x 4″ (cross)

I used a few techniques on this card. I’ll explain them the best I can- probably will make some short videos next week to show them.

Gone Fishing is one of my favorite stamps/dies/suites ever. It is great for man cards!

OK, here we go:

The fish are from one of the sheets of Let’s Go Fishing DSP. I fussy cut them.

The lure (the hook thing- I had to ask my husband and kids what it was called 🤣) was stamped with Versamark, embossed with silver powder, then colored with Boho Blue Blends.

For the striped paper, from the DSP, I used the wave die. First, I added Versamark to the die, die cut, then added white embossing powder.

For the sand and plants, I used the Seaside Bay stamps and dies. For the sand, my Crumb Cake cardstock was 3/4″ x 5-1/4″. I stamped the dotted stamp several times with Crumb Cake ink. I then die cut with the sand looking die. I used both for my bottom.

For the plants, I first added some Mossy ink to a window sheet. I then sprayed it with a Spritzer with water. I then added a piece of Watercolor Paper on top. Let it dry, then die cut.

For the sky above the sea, I used my Blending Brushes with Melon Mambo and Lemon Lolly inks.

I stamped the “Happy Father’s Day” with Boho Blue, die cut it with the tackle box dies in Gone Fishing. I then added some Melon Mambo and Lemon Lolly to it too.

Also, I have 4 more cards using Gone Fishing that I won’t share. I have a PDF that has the full instructions, pictures, products used here:
