Day 6-March Easter/Passover - He is Risen! Card

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,

 who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.

See the place where they laid him.

Mark 16 : 6

Today’s Theme is for the month of March, during which we celebrate Easter and Passover.  I decided to make a card representing the miracle that although Jesus died on the cross on what we call Good Friday, He did rise from the grave three days later on what we celebrate as Easter Sunday.

Card closed - Cross inside shows through Vellum

Card slightly open -

*  I cut the card from lavender cardstock, using the ‘Scalloped Card Set cf.’  I then embossed the front of it using the polka-dot embossing folder and my Cuttlebug.  I lightly inked the raised dots with a Pearlescent ink.

*  I cut an oval of Vellum slightly larger then the hole left by the previous cut and adhered it to the card.

*  I used the ‘3D Bow and Oval Frame cf’ and cut it from purple polka dot cardstock, then placed it over the Vellum.

*  I cut the ‘Cross and Medallion cf’ from black cardstock and adhered on top of the previous layers.  I then  carefully lined up the cross cut from the design to the inside of the card, so that it would show slightly beneath the Vellum when closed.

 

*  I punched leaves and tiny flowers using my MS punches, inked the edges, curved all of the pieces using my embossing tool on a foam mat and then adhered them to the card.  I added tiny pearl gems to the flowers.

*  Using my Photoshop 10 program, I typed the sentiment for the card front and inside, printed them, punched them using my scalloped circle punch, inked the edges and adhered to the card using PopDots for a raised effect. I made sure to place the inside sentiment so as not to be seen through the Vellum.  There is room to sign the card toward the ‘margins’ outside of the Vellum oval area – or on the back of the card.
