This card os for this weeks Midnight madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
The sketch is so versitile so this is the first of two I have made this week.
I have stamped the image onto some sky DP and then paper pieced the 'tomb' on some paper resembling rocks. The stone is backed with some thick CS to make it pop up a bit. I had a bit of a chuckle when I went to stick the stone onto the image - I couldn't find it...but then I realised it couldn't keep HIM in anyway! LOL! But as you can see, it did turn up and is now firmly on place!
The panels either side are distressed stripes - how appropriate with this Easter image - 'by His stripes' we are healed.....yes, they have been inked and attached with tarnished eyelets, The photo corners have been added with brads.
I love this sentiment and used my Ticketed Punch (that my DH hunted 4-EVA to find me last year) and inked around it in Distressing Ink - you probably know this, but just incase I will tell you - I ink almost everything in Distressing Ink - I always have 'inky fungers!'

What an awesome Easter card you created, Linda. It was a good story about the stone and gave me a smile. Good for your dh finding you the ticket punch.
