This card is inspired by something I saw designed by Emma Williams in the April issue of Making Cards magazine which I thought looked really lovely and just had to have a try making.
I just happen to already have the Easter Cross Stamp by Wild Rose Studio so I stamped this onto some white card cut into an arched window using the inner part of a Clarity shape stencil. I drew a green line around the arch with a Pro marker and coloured the stamp with promarkers. I dry embossed the white background with an lattice style embossing folder on some pearly white card and matted onto a light green pearly card. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and I made the 3 little flowers using The Sunflower matching stamp and Die set from the Heartfelt Creations. I finished off with some green and silver ribbon from my stash.
Not quite as good as the one Emma Williams made of course but I hope you like it as much as I do, your comments will be very welcome. Happy Easter,
