Easter Blessings

Happy Day to all,

I don't make many Easter cards. I just needed one more and here it is:


I was firstly inspired by the gorgeous photo at Inspired by Little Things-where they are celebrating their 50th Challenge-congrats! I loved the peachy colours of the flowers and the white background curtain and used this as my base idea. I followed the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch, using score lines and splashes of paint for the finer details.

I decided to use the 3 pastels challenge at Less is More. This proved harder than I thought as I don't have any pastel watetcolours. However I had fun mixing the stronger colours with my white water paint to give me pastel colours and I like how it turned out.

The flower is from Altnew and the sentiment from Verve

Have a fun day.

I will enter this into:
Less is More-3 pastels

    How very pretty, Sandie! Your use of embossed lines to ground the flowers is so effective and adds another really classy touch to the elegance of this layout. The soft colours suit the card perfectly. Gorgeous! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

    You are so rocking the cards Sandie - branching out of the comfort zone? This is beautiful - the pastelly colours really worked and I like the green splatter for added pizazz. Love it. Thank you for sharing with us at Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Challenge! Jenny x
