I needed easy peasy today, Cathy, thank you for the oval challenge! As it was, it took awhile for my card to come forth.
I first cut the oval in the My Mind's Eye dp, then stamping the scripture with VersaFine Sepia. I cut an oval frame from the same patterned paper and popped it above my background. I used a tiny bit of the silk ribbon which is dyed in shades of sea foam green and turquoise. The PRICELESS barcode is inked directly onto the dp with the VersaFine Olympic Green. I placed the Bible on top. It was embossed with clear ep and then colored with Chalk inks and the Spica Marker.
Thank you very kindly for your comments. May the merry little breezes of Spring be headed your way.

Fabulous card Susan! Great composition and I love the muted bg paper (MME has some of the best). That priceless stamp is wonderful..how creative to use it on this Easter card.
And yes you do need to check out Red Lead...they have really cool stuff that you would appreciate. Look at their blog too for ideas (link on top of their shopping page)
