I had so much fun making this Easter card, well, sort of so much fun....the idea sort of came to me in the night.....the SUO challenge this week is Easter Fun....and I honestly had no "fun" Easter stamps so decided to have fun making a serious card. Actually, tediously making these little roses by layering punched flowers and then fraying them with my paper snips to make them look like delicate roses was not really all that "fun" but the rest of the card was pretty okay sorta fun to make......actually I about wanted to shoot myself half way through, but it was fun, sorta, in a not so fun way...if you know what I mean....okay, I'm rambling. It's the MEANING of the finished product that I love, the "Oh how He loves you, Oh how He loves me" part!! Thanks be to God for HIS indescribable gift!! It was fun looking at it after I got it made!! Happy Easter everyone!! Happy Tuesday too!!

What a gorgeous card! And, I truly appreciate how long it took to make all those little flowers. A "one-of-a-kind!" Thanks for sharing, and "Happy Easter!" to you, too!

So very pretty. All that work did pay off, all the love into all that flower detail and to show and share God's love..a neat new design, well worth it. Like your embossing for the bg too a great match to all the pretty flowers....Thanks for all that work and for sharing...:0)

WOW, this is AMAZING Karen!!! Your flowers are awesome; major kudos to you for making them all. I will have you know that this was one of the more difficult challenges for me in a long time. It could also be because my craft room has been tipped upside down. It is also a challenge finding enough time to craft with my puppy. Poor me. :>)

WOW Karen- this is a work of art-so beautiful-love the teeny roses you made to make the cross shape-creative and I can see they would be a tedious task-but the end result is so worth it

OMG, Karen!!! You were rambling but if I had attempted this, I would be doing more than that! What a gorgeous, gorgeous cross and what a neat fold. Ramble on with your "fun" GF, ramble on! Amazing!
