Almost finished

I'm so happy to be almost finished with my Easter cards and now get them ready to mail. It is a chilly, dreary day with a fog advisory so a perfect day to do it.  My card today used a Darice embossing folder. Then I inked over it with a lavender ink then added a die cut cross in the same color. In the theme of using up my stash, I dug out a flower and added it with a gem in the center.

If my body was a car, this is the time I would be trading it in for a new model because every time I sneeze either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.






Be kind to one another.

Hi Brenda,
what a wonderful card and a wonderful embossing folder used.
Love how you have inked it the same colour as the card stock and the cross.
I never send out Easter cards I am lazy that way.
Loved your joke today just sums up my body perfectly.
Lots of crafty love and hugs from my house to yours. Jenny L.

I'm laughing so hard, it's hard to type! That's a good one, Brenda, and very relatable! Okay, okay. I'm fine. Your card is so pretty! The lilac color is perfect for Easter and you did such a great job of keeping it clean with those magic fingers! Hugs, Darnell

Hee, hee. So true! Oh, my...Another fantastic Easter card, Brenda! Adding the color on top of the embossing adds so much and I wish I could do that without getting it all over. You did great and it's so pretty with the purple cross and flower on top!
