Happy Easter everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic day today! We are off with family celebrating Easter. All of our extended family flies in or drives from their respective other states and we all converge on my in-laws house for a giant three day Easter celebration. It’s a wonderful time and it great to see everyone. 🙂
For my card I went with the Easter theme. I had a lot of fun making the watercolor background using Distress Inks and shimmer mist. I went a little crazy with the sequins and flowers to brighten everything up. 🙂
