He is not here: for he is risen as he said. Matthew 28:6
I stamped the card front with a Poppystamps branch using Memento Desert Sand. It's subtle, but makes a huge difference in person. The church is brushed with shimmer & the sentiment is from W&W.
A recent PTI challenge asked for a Spring card using an embellishment found on Melissa's inspiration card. It was fun to make something a little different for me. 
I previously dry embossed PTI Pretty Frame Cover Plate onto a Fine Linen panel. I trimmed it down a bit so the Classic Kraft card front would show. The edges were embossed with my seldom used Stampendous Aged Taupe & Aged Ivory Embossing Enamels. Thanks to Melissa for the inspiration to use it! I added hemp & a bit of lace, also inspired by Melissa. I looked through my notebook of old PTI monthly color combos to decide on my Into the Blooms II bouquet colors which are Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Simply Chartreuse & Ripe Avocado. My friend, Vikki, gave me the old PTI buttons die & I used a tiny one cut from Classic Kraft. The other flower centers are matte pinkish sequins. I stamped the sentiment from Prominent Petals in Versafine Clair Pinecone.
I'm way behind on blogging cards, so I'll finish this post with my latest card made for the Gina K Monthly Mix April challenge to make or add a tag, ModSquad's final challenge & The Flower Challenge to add a heart. 
I love using Gina K Wreath Builder templates. For this card I used the 4 inch template, images from GK A Happy Hello & Holiday Tapestry and PTI inks Berry Sorbet, Spring Moss & Harvest Gold. The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn. I die cut the freebie Sizzix tag from the center of the wreath & added additional layers before attaching it back in place. I used clear sequins for the flower centers & added a tiny GK heart embellishment colored brown & covered with Shimmer Pico Embellisher. 
I made the brown mat with the Acorn ink pad direct to paper & used Berry Sorbet cardstock for the card front. This morning I found the little white crochet thread bow on my table & not on my card! Too late for my IG post, but I retook pictures for my blog. Such a little thing that makes a huge difference.
A couple nights ago I dropped a jewell. Luckily, I didn't immediately see where it was, so got on my hands & knees to feel for it under my chair & table. Next to a table leg I picked up some hair, etc. to throw away. There was a tiny squishy thing--wondered what it was. Luckily, I looked closer & realized it was the 3 dot stamp from Uniko's Rustic Wreath set that I lost January 2020! I don't know how many times I swept the rug with my hand looking for that little stamp!
Beautiful cards. I, too, am such a fan of Gina's wreath builder tool. Thanks for playing along with us once again over at The Mod Squad.
