My mind was going in two different directions with ideas on what I wanted to do so I created cards using both ideas.
Here's my first card:
I used Mat Stack #4 die and the word JOY from Holiday Double Cuts to create the focal point. I inked the background using the Hello Sunshine coordinating die. I cut a stencil from a piece of acetate and stenciled in the sun rays using Tim Holtz Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. I stamped some corner flourishes and finished it off with some pretty Easter Lilies that I colored with copics.
For this card, I used Mat Stacks #1 die and the bird from Songbirds to create the focal point. The sentiment is from Bitty Bouquet and Petite Pots. I raised the front panel using some fun foam to give this card some dimension. A stamped banner from Songbirds and a layered flower from Happiness in bloom finish it off.
I'm also entering one of these cards into the following challenges:

Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Great cards for Easter and for that special friend. I love the bird amidst all the flowers. I also love the sun rays with Joy and the flowers-very pretty
Gorgeous cards! Love them both! The second one is my favorite. I love the pattern paper of that one! Thank you so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Hugs, Sandra
Your 1st Easter card is so lovely! You conveyed the message perfectly! Love the 'light' though the JOY! And the second is wonderful! You placed the yellow flower in just the right spot on your bird! Both works of art!
These are such special cards - awesome design, colors and ooh, gotta love that songbird die!
I think that both of these are so creative! Love your Easter joy one, in particular, with those beautifully coloured Easter lilies.
