Easter 2023 came like a flash after a quiet Lent. Since Easter is an important religious holiday for my circle of loved ones and me, a special card is warranted.
I kept my card design simple yet beauteous. I found a delightful lily stamp, Darling Lily, (no affiliate link) from Altenew. The illustration is unembellished yet graceful. Don’t you think this stamp begs to be colored?
I chose to highlight this beautiful floral by stamping over a masked and blended background. I used My Favorite Things’ Rectangle Extraordinaire Stencil, instead of using masking tape. I used several Distress Oxide inks to create the background. I stamped the sentiment with Honey Bee’s metallic gold ink. As a final touch, I added yellow pearls as little accents. Here’s a close-up of one of the cards.
Here is another card that I made using the masking/blending technique.
I hope you had a wonderful Easter and that your Spring will be filled with many blessings.
