Stampin Up, Just Add Ink#495, Easter card


I decided to make my Just Add ink challenge card, and Easter card.  I love my rainbow of color on my cross.  
First, here is the challenge so you can see the rest and maybe come play along. 




Cause everyone love a rainbow, right? 
I used several colors, 4 on my cross, 5 if you count the black.  Daffidol Delight, Seaside Spray, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody and Basic Black.
I started with making my cross.  I ended up using 4 colors on the watercolor paper.  I used my ink pads, spritzed a little water in the lid and used my aqua brush to pick up color from the pad and mix it in the lid to get the intensity I wanted, the used a small piece of watercolor paper and made streaks of color across the piece adding one color after another.  After dry I used the outside edge die of the Cross of Hope die set (retired) and cut that out, then cut the inside detail out of Basic black CS and glued on top.

I cut my yellow and blue from the Stitched Nested Label die set then popped my cross up on top.   The Easter Blessings came from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and I used the retired Window punch to cut it out.

I cut a piece of white 4"x51/4" and ran it through the Big Shot using the  new Scripty embossing folder .  I did ink the edges of that a bit, you can leave it plain or maybe use a different color if you don't like this. 

I cut my Seaside Spray CS on the 8 /12" side to 4 1/4", then scored at 5 1/2". 
Before I attched my embossed piece I used a Daffodil ribbon and tied a knot. 

I hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping.
