Happy Easter!!!
How are you spending the Easter holiday during this unusual spring/year?
Our church put together a lovely internet service, probably as yours did.
Right now we are looking at blowing snow while my grandmother's recipe for Chicken and Rice bakes in the oven. They've been predicting this snow all week so I thought that would be a fitting, comfort food meal for today. I haven't made it in years.
As I type this the snow is starting to let up so we can see the Mississippi River again. We are only a few blocks away but the snow was too heavy to see it earlier.
- I have been looking for ways to use this lovely little Old Olive die cut. It is made with two of the smaller die in the Ornate Layers dies. I just love the folk art type look but couldn't figure out what to do with it until I held it up to this partial image of the large floral spray from and decided to use it kind of like a book binding look.
- I used Old Olive, Flirty Flamingo, Rococo Rose and a little Mango Melody Light Blends Markers for the coloring. I think those were the colors ... the piece was from a stash that I've kept near the TV as we've done some of our quarantine TV binging.
- A little bit of Old Olive patterned paper from Ornate Garden Specialty DSP peeks out of the die cut layer.
- I pulled the greeting from Easter Promise. It was perfect size for the space and I liked the non-traditional colors for this greeting.
- In Color Faceted Dots in Rococo Rose finish off the "ornate" look.

Whatever your faith, I hope that you are finding moments of peace in whatever role you find yourself during these difficult days. Many thanks to those of you serving in any essential positions!!!
