Bloggers Challenge- Easter

This is my 2nd post today- McMahon Five Designs New Release is HERE

Today for Bloggers Challenge we are making Easter cards.
  I used an image called He is Risen by Flourishes- which I had the pleasure of winning recently.  I colored the image with Copics and highlighted the flower center with Sakura Gelly Roll pen. The top two flowers and stems were layered and I used dimensionals to raise up the flowers.


Because I may wish to make more of these, I took a picture of the markers I used too..
 Bloggers Challenge is open to everyone- come play along!  Stop by our Challenge Mom-Lisa's blog and say Hi! Join in by adding your card to Mr Linky below.
