The image was printed on the parchment and then colored with copics. I mounted the image, colored side down, on plain white cardstock to help it show up better. The window in the card was made with nestabilities dies and framed with pearlized paper and a floral oval die cut. The sentiment was given the same layering and some faux stitching was added. Faux stitching was also added to the background panel. I added lots of pearls, an organdy bow and a Prima flower to finish things off. The finished card is 4.25" x 5.5".
I really like this sentiment from the Easter Blessings set. It's such a great reminder of why we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. {He was sinless so He could pay the price that we could not.} However, He didn't remain dead. On the third day, He gloriously rose from the dead. That's why we serve a Risen Saviour. Christ died on the cross, paying the penalty for our sin, so that He could provide the way for us to one day live with Him in Heaven. Accepting Christ as Saviour is the THE most important decision you will ever make. It determines where you will spend eternity. If you have not already done so, I'd encourage you to accept this free gift of salvation and ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour. Not sure how to do that? It's as simple as A - B - C:
A - Admit that you are a sinner.
Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
B - Believe that Christ died on the cross for your sins.
1 Corinthians 15:3b-4 says, "...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
C - Confess your sin and ask Christ to save you.
Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
