I can't believe that it is already April. It is time for our second
The challenge this time was to make an Easter card.
I used a digital image that my Sister in Christ, Diane made. I used it several years ago to make a stained glass card so I wanted to do something different with it this year. I printed it 12 times. I colored and layered it to give it dimension.
The wood of the cross has texture. I water colored the cross then added a layer of tacky glue that I then put streaks in the glue with a plastic fork, and then I heated it with a heat gun. I used cheesecloth, because it made me think of the grave clothes that were left behind. I made my card an easel card and put the scripture in the inside.. I was going to add some texture to the insides of the flowers, but I decided at the last min to leave them like they are because I wanted the cross to have the attention.
This close up photo shows the texture on the cross.

Beautiful, MariLynn! What an amazing technique to give the cross texture. Love the symbolism of the cheesecloth as well. So pretty. Such a tender time of year for the heart of a believer!!!
