Easter Card with Concord and 9th

Happy Palm Sunday, cafe friends!

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon stamping with my mom at her kitchen table. My mom was cranking out the cards (she's so fast!) while I was playing with some Concord and 9th stamps and making backgrounds for future cards.

I had purchased this turnabout stamp from one of the Buy/Sell forums, but hadn't played with it yet. It really is fun, once you get the hang of it! I found that rather than turning the stamp, I cut a piece of card stock to a six by six size, and kept turning the card stock instead. Worked like a charm.

Today, I pulled out this newly stamped background and thought "Now what?" I know. Make an Easter card! I need plenty of those this week!

I used the cross die from MFT. Such a good investment! I didn't own any cross dies. I used to own a few cross stamps, but let me tell you, there was nothing harder to line up and stamp than a cross with vertical and horizontal lines. I sold off those stamp sets, and will use this die a lot in the future!

I added the flower and palm branch dies from Concord and 9th "Just Because". And then, using the die and stamps from "Banners and Blooms". I used the alphabet set "Perfectly Penned" to spell out Easter.
