Happy Easter

I wish you a Blessed Easter!

I had seen on my friend's blog a parchment type die on a card she made. I just loved it. I was able to go to a craft sale and found one similar there. I was thrilled. I came home and made this card right away. I used these beautiful flower rub ons and then ran the card stock in the wood grain embossing folder using my embossing machine. Lastly I swiped over the raised areas of the wood grain with the Antique Linen Distress ink pad.

Die: Parchment - Sizzix

Saying Stamp - Just For Fun
Inks: Antique Linen and Vintage Photo (edges) Distress Inks
