I went with a fun kinda teen look for my card...teen girl that is! LOL! Oh actually, it would work even for my age group, cause we are young at heart, right? LOL! But I do so love this set, I love grunging things up sometimes, and this set has a few things I can use for that too!

Cause to celebrate the Joy of Christ Arisen, well, we need to do that more often!! Here is my card, an Easter card that I have done:



This is one of those cards that looks so much better IRL...I cross is embossed with gold embossing powder, then colored with copics...I was going for that enamelware look...Here is a close up of it too:


I should have put some Crystal Effects over it too, that would really have made it look like inlaid enamel! Ill do that next time, LOL!
