Hello!! Easter is almost here!! On Wednesday I made a trip up to the town of Issaquah to get some Easter treats for my boys at Boehms Chocolates. While I was there I picked up my most recent order from Ellen Hutson and when I got home I used one of the things I picked up to make the two Easter cards I'm sharing. Both cards use the current layout for Freshly Made Sketches and the sweet little Pretty Pink Posh stamp set Easter Blessings along with the matching dies. For the first card I stamped the vine covered cross three times on watercolor paper and then did some simple watercoloring with my ZIGs. Once they were dry I die cut them with the matching die. The FMS layout is really simple and so are both cards. I created to A2 cards from one sheet of light blue cardstock and then cut the white cardstock with a die from the AJVD Slippery Slopes and Stitched Clouds die set. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Vintage Sepia and then adhered everything to the card base as you see. I will be posting this card to the FMS gallery. 
The second card uses the Easter lily stamp from the Easter Blessings set. I also stamped that image on watercolor paper and did simple watercoloring with ZIGs. Once dry I die cut it with the matching die and then used the exact same layout for the card. Since this one has colors similar to the inspiration photo for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge I will post this card to that challenge.
Wishing you a wonderful day...
Supplies: Cardstock: MFT Smooth white and light blue; Stamps: Pretty Pink Posh; Dies: Pretty Pink Posh and A Jillian Vance Design; Ink: VersaFine Vintage Sepia; Watercolor medium: ZIG Clean Color markers
