For centuries the flowered cross has signified the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter morning. So for this Kitchen Sink Monday, I used my KSS lilies, hydrangeas, tulips, sunflowers, and tiny wild flowers to create for you a flowered cross. This is a one layer card created completely by masking.
I printed the sentiment on Pure White cardstock by GinaK. I then created a cross using two strips of cardstock. After centering the cross on the card, I sponged around it with SU So Saffron to create the space I wanted to fill with flowers.
After removing the cardstock cross, I started stamping in the center of the space with the lilies. I stamped the flowers, masked them, and worked outward from there. Stamp, mask, stamp, mask, stamp, mask until all the space was filled.
It is always a surprise as I peel off the masks to see what I have actually created! I'm happy with this! I hope you like it, too!
