Doodle Pantry - He Is Risen

 
Happy Easter!

Today, I have the Easter card I sent to my family and the homebound ministry.  This image is from Doodle Pantry and is called He Is Risen.

He is Risen COLOR plus
I have the uncolored images too, however was in a bit of a pinch for time this year, so I used the pre-colored image and the coordinating digital papers too.  We got a new laser printer, so I had to try out printing in color.  It is nice to be able to print the digital papers myself and the pre-colored image is beautifully done.  The patterned paper was printed on normal copy paper. 

The "Christ is Risen" sentiment is from this set also.  I combined the two images in Photoshop, then saved it out as a new .png file.  I arranged 6 images per page in Microsoft Word and printed it on heavier cardstock.

Inside, I used the "Love's redeeming work is done" and "Happy Resurrection Sunday" digis to create the verse.

Supplies --

Little Miss Muffet - Easter Lamb

Today is a sad day...my last official post for the Little Miss Muffet design team.  It has been a year almost to the day!  I can't believe it.  

Ironically, this image is one of the 3 images I chose when I started the design team last year.  This is Easter Lamb of the Snugly Giftables line.

The Craft's Meow - Hope Blooms

I needed a couple sympathy cards this week, so here are some quick and simple ones.  The Deepest Sympathy sentiment is from Hope Blooms, available at The Craft's Meow.

The patterned paper is a 4x6" DCWV stack I found on clearance at Joann's.  I thought the cardstock was really interesting; the black is flocking.  The stitching was done on the sewing machine with white thread.
The cardstock is PTI Kraft and Bazzill Raven.  The gems on this second card are also from my trip to Joann's.  They are Darice brand sticky back rhinestones.  They were in the general crafts, jewelry aisle - not card making.  Love the sticky back!

Challenges:
Whimsy Stamps - Stitches
Inky Impressions - Flowers
Lady Anne's Challenge - Sentiment & Anything Goes
The Kraft Journal - Favorite color (neutrals) with Kraft
