Day Three of the February release at MHK Designs and the first of my Easter cards. This spectacular image of the Good Shepherd is from the set called "Easter Blessings." The sentiment is also from that same set. Check the bottom of this post to see a photo of the entire set.
I layered that onto a background of blue dp from the MHK Designs "Going Gingham - Brights" set. I added some of my favorite sheer ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon) and also used it to tie a triple loop, triple layer bow - a perfect handmade embellishment! I finally inked the edges of the card and it really gave it a finished look.

I started with the sketch from Sketchy Colors
but left off the diamond shape because I couldn't squeeze
this image into a diamond shape.
When I first began designing this card, I was thinking about how to color the image but the more I looked at it, the more I decided there wasn't much I could do to 'improve' it so I decided to leave it black and white; color could be added through the papers and embellishments I chose. I cut the image with a die from Spellbinders and backed that with a Swiss Dot embossed piece of CS.

I'm so glad you didn't color it. It doesn't need anything and your blues are perfect just backing the image and sentiment up. Have a fun evening.

Beautiful framed image, love that you left it uncolored, it doesn't need coloring, and the monochromatic design goes so well with it.
Such a wonderful card- beautiful : ) I like that it is not colored- perfect just the way it is. I will have to go check out this company : ) I am slow getting around- been running to folks and daughters- all is well here. Hope you have quick healing!
