Back in the good old days, in the early 1900s, People actually made or purchased new "Sunday Best" clothes each year for Easter Sunday, and then walked up and down the avenue in a 'parade' as a way to celebrate Easter. This wonderful "Wearing Spring" image from our sponsor, Paper Shelter, really fits that idea. Our latest challenge at Crafty Catz has our usual Anything Goes theme but our optional theme is "Embossing Folders."
I merged the image onto a half-page background found in the same set, then colored the image with my Sanjoki markers. I used a Darise EF on the background side, then did an out-of-the-box cut on the actual image. She's fussy cut around her form and die cut one the two straight edges on the right side above and below her. The sentiment was merged before printing.
The pink background paper came from a Recollections stack.

Nana, what a great image and coloring, love how you cut around the little girl and added the embossing to the side. Very pretty card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Beautiful Blossoms.
That is such a fun fact about the Sunday best parade for Easter! I think that tradition has carried a little as many still love to get a new dress for Easter. I know I do! Your darling little image prancing in her new dress is so cute. Thanks for playing along with us at double Trouble :)
Great image beautifully coloured and lovely paper too.
Thanks for joining us at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.
