Easter Lilies

Who knows when or where I bought this single piece of scrapbook paper with beautiful lilies across the center of the sheet.  It is so pretty.  Unfortunately, because of the positioning of the lilies, it only made three Easter cards.

Fortunately, the flip side had a nice cross design suitable for my grandson's Confirmation.

These stamps are from Our Daily Bread.  The sentiment is stamped on a small piece of pale green velum leftover from the Happy Easter die cut words on the 3 cards above.

The most difficult part of this card was fussy cutting the olive branch in the mouth of the dove!

Thanks for dropping by today.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Would you consider this CAS?

We are having a nice gentle rain this morning.  My DH is dismayed because he had both golf and lawn mowing on his agenda.  I had some weeding on my agenda, so when it stops my job will be much easier.  For now, it can keep raining while I do my blogpost.
 
Between loads of wash yesterday, I was working on a very special card for my grand-nephew's Confirmation on July 5th.  I decided to use solid papers in white, blues and grays for this card with a CTMH Artiste cricut cut frame around a free digital Bible verse from Word Art Wednesday.

I added some corner accents from the same cricut cartridge to the inside with a computer generated sentiment.  The card base is actually a light gray with a white embossed panel on the front.

I am hoping this qualifies as CAS since I am entering it in the CAS on Sunday Challenge #60 and have followed their color scheme.

I am also going to enter the card in these other challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #188 - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Favorite Technique or Product
(I've used my favorite embossing folder by Stampin Up.)
Fantastic Tuesday Challenge #90 - Anything Goes w/ Twist: Frame
Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #141 - For a Man/Boy
Glitter n Sparkle Challenge #141 - Include a Die Cut
Dragonfly Dreams Challenge - Special Occasion


I think the rain has stopped and we now are experiencing the muggies.  I really dislike the muggies!
