- Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply, Alleluia! - Charles Wesley
This hymn was one of my favorites growing up & it's been in my mind ever since I started my Easter cards. Before heading to work today I want to wish everyone a lovely Easter. I made a one layer watercolor card with the smooth side on the outside. The Impression Obsession Three Little Twigs was white embossed & color was added using Distress Inks scattered straw, spiced marmalade & peeled paint using the acrylic block technique. I splattered each of the inks over their corresponding areas. The IO Easter Blessings sentiment was stamped in Memento Espresso Truffle using my Mini MISTI to get a nice dark inking. I'm entering these challenges: Impression Obsession, Chouxchoux, & CropStop. Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll catch up with you soon.
Happy Easter to you, too! Greta! Also, congrats on your win at Papertrey Ink! Your card is beautiful. Love the watercolor wash! So stunning!!
