Easter Blessings

I made a couple of Easter cards using my new favourite technique (using the negative space of die cuts). I decided to go for a more serious, subtle card using one of my most loved CAS designs. This card is a big step away from my more typical whimsical style.

Cardstock: Gina K. Designs
Ribbon: CTMH
Stamp: CTMH
Greeting: Computer generated
Pearls: CTMH
Ink: Memento - Rich Cocoa

Challenges I would like to enter:

Card Makin Mamas - Easter
