Sunrise means a new day and new beginnings. Using Divinity Designs layered cross die set and a stenciled sunrise, I hope to convey this elated feeling of gladness in this z-fold Easter card.
Using five different shades of browns from tan to espresso cut one of each of the cross dies in each color. Lay out the various layers so that when assembled no cross has two of the same color.
Glue the layers together to form five crosses.
Cut a 4 1/4 x 11 inch piece of sky blue cardstock. Score and fold at 5 1/2 inches (valley fold) and at 2 1/4 inches (mountain fold).
With a sun rise stencil, orange ink and a sponge dauber, ink in the sun on the folded shut card. Ink the sun rays on the left side of folded card with yellow ink. Open up card and ink in all the sun rays on back panel using the inked sun half to lineup stencil.
Let ink dry before stamping the “He is risen” sentiment in black onto back panel, spacing so it is hiden when the card is closed. On a white 2 x 4 inch piece of white paper stamp in black ink “Happy Easter.” Glue white paper on the inside panel of the card. Die-cut strips of green grass to adhere to the bottom of the stenciled sunrise panels of the card.
Position and then glue the cross to the left half of the closed card.
To hint at the envelope’s contents, I stamped tulips onto the blue envelope with a yellow ink.
