Paper Smooches April Challenge

The Paper Smooches challenge for the beginning of April is all about beautiful pastel colors!

I was one of the lucky winners from the Paper Smooches March challenge and I decided to use one of the stamp sets I ordered with my gift certificate to make today's card.  I used the So Fairy Cute stamp set and I did a little masking to make my card.  I am just in love with that cute fairy bear and I decided to add lots of sparkle to my card! 

What a fun whimsical card and I just love using pastel colors!

Stay safe everyone and have a great day!

He Is Risen Eclipse Card and Video

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends! 

Today is my day on the Kat Scrappiness blog and 

 I have a fun Eclipse card to share with you and a video 

to go along with it to show you exactly how I made it!

I have 2 guests in my video today.....

My cat Poppers who refused to get off of my desk for the video

so I let her stay, excuse the cat hair....

My second guest is my daughter Taylor who took over for my 

voiceover about half way through the video.

I was frustrated and tired and she knows so much about 

card making she agreed to help me out!

She has a great sense of humor, I love her take on card making!

Now on to the card.

This card measures 4" x 4" and features the eclipse technique.

I started out with a panel cut from the Square Zig Zag dies to stamp on.

I stamped those lovely pastel brush strokes from the 

Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and then I used the He Is Risen

trio of crosses die to cut out a focal point.

I also cut that beautiful trio of crosses out 4 more times in 

aqua card stock to layer under the stamped die cut.

Once I layered the "built up" trio of crosses back on to the panel,

they really stood in a very subtle way giving that classic

eclipse look to the card.

Sparkling Clear Jewels gave a nice finishing touch to this card!

It's much easier to understand in a video so you can check out

my video here or on YouTube.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and I hope it inspires you 

to make your own eclipse card!  Also please consider joining the monthly
