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.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Gina K. Designs

Ribbon: CTMH

Stamp: CTMH

Greeting: Computer generated

Pearls: CTMH

Ink: Memento - Rich Cocoa
