Easter Blessings

Wishing each of you a happy and blessed Easter!  John 3:16 pretty well sums up the holiday in a nutshell.  We have hope in a living Christ!

I wanted to create a quick Easter card using some elements from my leftover stash. I went to the Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS and found that Jenn Shurkus is in the limelight this week and was thrilled to find so many gorgeous cards in her gallery! I was especially blown away by this gorgeous watercolored BG found on this card!  I CASEed her use of white on primarily pink and green and changed up the sentiment to gold instead of black.  The cross was die cut from a leftover panel that was embossed with white texture paste using a Tweed Pattern stencil by Hero Arts.  The sweet flower is a new posy die set by Lil' Inker Designs.
