BBB20 The Beauty of Spring or Autumn

Hello again.  Wow, time just seems to be flying by these days.  I have been working 5 days a week and crafting like a mad woman every chance I get.  It is that time of the month again....time for Bring Back Beautiful.  This month the theme is Spring or Autumn.  You can find all the details HERE on the Flourishes blog.


I colored this beautiful new set called He Is Risen.  I was inspired by Beate's beautifully colored cross HERE.  I tried my hardest to make it look like wood.  I have to say, everything I know about coloring with Copics is because of her.  I made the Lilies look more like Asiatic Lilies than an Easter Lily.  My friend grows a bunch of these in her back yard and I thought she would love the extra touch.



I stamped the the inside of the card.  My friend and neighbor asked me to make her 6 Easter cards, so you might get sick of seeing them here soon.

    I love all the beautifully intricate details you amaze us with in each and every card you make. This lovely is no exception. That cross is amazingly wood-like and the lilies are colored beyond perfection. What a masterclass!

    Your card is beautiful! I love your colouring. You have really captured the lilies. I grow those lilies in my garden too and I could just sit and stare at them all day when they are blooming.
    Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! :)
