This is the final Easter card for this year. The card is quite simple, but it truly represents what Easter is about. While creating this card, I did not want the entire piece of white
cardstock embossed. So I cut a piece of
cardstock to the size I wanted left blank. I used that piece of
cardstock as a buffer between the
cardstock I wanted embossed and the
Sizzix texture plate. After it went
thru the Big Shot, the texture showed up, although not as deeply as the rest of the card. So I then glued two pieces of the same size
cardstock together and placed that between the texture plate and the white
cardstock. If you look closely, you can see there is a very faint embossing behind the cross, but it worked fairly well. Next time I try this, I will place three pieces of
cardstock between the plate and the
cardstock I want embossed--and hope the texture plate doesn't crack! The cross (which I cut out after stamping the image) is from the Special Blessings stamp set and "Happy Easter" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. (I highly recommend Teeny Tiny Wishes if you are looking for a good greeting stamp set.) And now it is time to make some Easter favors. Enjoy the rest of the day.
