CLS April Class Cards: #1 "His Grace"

Snow is finally gone here in Minnesota, well almost, at least no more in the forecast! So time for some spring cards.

Easter is this Sunday so our first card is an Easter card, using the retiring set "In His Grace"

This is a stamp set. So many beautiful sentiments and the flowers lend wonderfully to the Stampin' Blends. Watercolor pencils would also work.

Dimensions:

The card base is 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
The background layer is "Blackberry Bliss", 5-1/4" x 4"

The corners are punched with the "Detailed Trio" triple punch.

The sentiment is stamped on a piece of "Whisper White" , 2-1/2"x 3-1/2"

The sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss. The flowers are stamped in Memento Black and colored in with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I used both the light an dark pens, highlighting the stamped shaded areas with the dark color and then blending it all together with the lighter marker.

The sentiment is layered on a piece of Blackberry Bliss 2-7/8" x 3-7/8".
The "doily" type layer is from "Stitched Labels" . I used the large label die, ran it through the Big Shot with some Whisper White cardstock, then cut it in half horizontally.

Adhered it to the back of the Blackberry Bliss layer and then trimmed off the edges with edge of the Blackberry Bliss.
This layer was mounted on the background layer with Dimensionals
