Lily Cross

It's been pretty wild here at the Rodgers household this weekend. Both of my sons and three of the grands are here. We've been making cards for everyone they know! LOL! Needless to say, there wasn't much stamping going on for me! But that's okay. I can always stamp when they aren't here to entertain me. :-)

I started this card before they got here yesterday...and finished it up while they were taking their baths. Geez...I don't know how you moms do it with little ones around!!! The stamp I used is Northwoods Lily Cross . It's such a beautiful stamp, and so appropriate for the season.


I stamped on watercolor paper, then colored using Tombow (water based) markers. I did my shading using a damp paint brush. After coloring the image I cut it out and placed it over the ovals cut with my Spellbinders petite ovals. The ovals were lightly distressed using Antique Linen Distress Ink .The background was embossed using a Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.

The cardstock used is Sunflowers Prismatics light medium and dark. The lighter green is Spring Willow Prismatics medium. The darker green note card is
Herbal Garden Prismatics dark.


The oval panels and the cross were popped up using Scotch foam tape. This last picture is just to show you the dimension.

I'd better get back to the kiddos. They are much too quiet, and that usually means trouble!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
