Hi friends! With Mardi Gras now behind us it is time to get serious about Spring and Easter! Memories of Easter always include lots of ruffly pink, pretty lace, white lacy gloves and something sparkly! Mom always wore a corsage (usually an orchid) and all the ladies wore hats to church on Easter Sunday! The sanctuary was always filled with lilies.
Of course, the kids were always much more concerned with whether or not the Easter bunny had made an appearance the night before and what candies and chocolates were in their Easter baskets when they woke up. And usually there was an Easter egg hunt!
As an adult I've attended lots of sunrise services, but in childhood we typically went for 930 Sunday school and then 1100 services. Then we'd go home and have a big Easter lunch with ham, potato salad, Spring vegetables and deviled eggs, with chocolate candy for dessert!
All these happy memories are what I tried to capture on today's project!
Here's the inside. I wanted this simple, rustic cross to take center stage so I used beautiful sunrise colors alongside a quatrefoil-style print that makes me think of stained glass.
The tab needed to be quite narrow to remain invisible. I die cut two layers of heavier card stock and glued them together for the cross to make it nice and sturdy.
