Sweet Stamps Challenge- Easter

It's another great challenge at Sweet Stamps .  Our challenge theme for this week is Easter .

 I love this image- and started out embossing on Vellum and was going to color it in, but I decided to try embossing the image with a variety of Embossing Powders, and I decided I like the sparkly look on the rich purple cardstock. The embossing powder has sparkle to it- and I cut out a thin layer of white shimmery cardstock beneath it. There is a layer of embossed purple cardstock behind the cross too- I layered it all up on a Center Step card.

  I had fun trying the Royal Sterling Enamel EP on the butterflies as well. Oh- this is so gorgeous IRL!  There is purple and silver shimmer too : )
 I made a number of embossed Cross images- here are a couple more CAS cards I put together:

 This cardstock is a very shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress- and the EP is called 24 K Gold.....looks so elegant- I decided to stop.....

And this is the Royal Sterling EP on another white shimmery cardstock (also from Paper Temptress). This is very shimmery IRL too. I decided to leave this CAS as well.

There are the Sweet Stamps products I used on these cards:

Cross Large	Embossing Pal Anti-Static Pouch	Distress Clear Embossing Ink	Enamel EP 24k GOLD	Enamel EP ROYAL STERLING	Fantasy White
Butterfly Flurry Flourishes	Enamel Embossing Powder Adhesive	Center Step Card Die	Embossing Folder DAMASK
