Easter Card plus coupon and Day 7 of Christian Art Journaling...


Hello friends!
There is a new coupon in the store for 40% off a stamp of your choice!  If you purchase more than one stamp, the discount will apply toward the HIGHEST PRICED item in your cart.  Just remember to sign in and type in MARCH12 when asked for the code!

Today I have an Easter Card I made with a few of my favorite Inspired Stamps sets:  Flower Buds, His Cross, His Little Ones: Praying Girl, Scenic View and 1inch flowers:
Here's the inside of the card, where I used Scripture:
The paper background the scene sits on was used with the color mist technique I shared in the first week of the Christian Art Journaling over on the God bless your ART blog:
Speaking of which, I have DAY 7 up there and here's a sneak peek of the paint smooshing technique:


See you Thursday for some more EASTER CARD inspiration from the Design Team!
