Easter Card featuring Erin Lee Creative

I am sooo excited about the new release from Erin Lee Creative! It's called True Story and there are so many wonderful products in this release. Religious cards are some of my most favorite cards to make and I definitely needed some of these products in my life. Scroll down for a quick run down on the products that I used.  You'll also find product links at the end of this post.

When I saw the True Story stamp set and that amazing Calvary Die, the exact scene below popped into my head. I wanted to create a beautiful sunset (or sunrise) sky backdrop for the Calvary Die. 

Ranger distress oxide inks are my go-to for this and I used my blender brushes with Kitsch Flamingo, Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade on 80 lb Neenah white cardstock.

. When I initially cut my cross die, I laid down a wide strip of Mint Tape on top of a section of black cardstock where the curve would be cut. Once my cross dies were cut, I peeled off the mint tape which now has a slope design, and adhered it to my card panel to use as a mask for ink blending above the curve.  So easy, really. And mess free! Well, mostly mess free, haha.

Another product that helped create the scene I had in mind is the Burst Hot Foil Die. I recently discovered that you can easily hot foil on top of distress oxide ink. All you have to do is heat set your ink blending with a craft heat tool for about 30 seconds, to make sure it's dry before hot foiling. I use my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System for all my hot foiling. It's one of my favorite tools and works so nicely with Erin Lee Creative products. I know, I sound like a commercial but hey, I can't help what I love!

I kept my scenic card pretty simple, with no additional adornment. You really don't need it because the foil is so sparkly and shiny.  

Now, the True Story stamp set has already sold out and been re-stocked twice! I understand that Erin has more on the way so, not to worry. I'm just so happy that this release has not only touched the hearts of cardmakers, but will also touch the hearts of the recipients. HE'S alive! Happy Easter and thanks so much for popping in today! 

Terri
