Faux watercolour and an Easter bunting

I needed a sympathy card for some friends of ours. These

are always a bit hard to make because I want them to be extra
special and meaningful. I used the set 'Thoughts and Prayers', one
of my favorites for letting people know you care. SU's latest
sale-a-bration catalogue had a beautiful card that I knew would
be perfect for this card's recipient, so I used pretty much the same
layout and colour scheme with a couple little changes. Here's the result:

It's hard to tell in this picture but the kraft panel is embossed
with a basket weave pattern. Lots of small, subtle details
on this card make it special but not too over-the-top.

I think my favorite part of this card, though, is the stamped image.
I first inked the stamp up with Certainly Celery ink, then carefully
wiped off the flowers with a baby wipe. I re-inked them with Almost
Amethyst and then sprayed the whole stamp with water from a
mini-mister. When I stamped it, it really gave the image a soft,
water-coloury look. Love, love, love how this turned out!

We've also been up to lots of crafty goodness as we get ready
to celebrate Easter. Last week I made a little mini-bunting
to hang from our kitchen shelf. I used old book pages for the
individual banners and then various Basic Grey scraps and
stickers, along with lots of punches, to decorate them.

'He is Risen'

I'll be back soon to share some more.
We've been crafty little crafters the past couple weeks.
Makes me very happy :)
