Hello there! Just popping in quick to share this project created using one of the new Churches dies that came out in the Reason to Smile release with Simon Says Stamp.
I partially die cut the church so that it would stay intact with the cardstock and pair well with the Village dies that designed to partially die cut. I used my craft knife to cut them out adding a slight hill and blended Duckling, Melon & Teeny Bikini for a soft “Easter morning” kinda sunrise. The sentiment is from the Blessed stamp set.
I also have a winner to announce from the Paper Smooches 5 year celebration hop….congrats to ssonnier2015! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Perfect background! Lovely card!
Sooo Pretty!!
Beautiful card. Your blending is always fantastic.
You could do no wrong when it comes to dies and stamps….this is so perfect in every way. Love the “hills” and color-blending!
Love, love, love!
I am so excited to win some new “toys” from Paper Smooches. Thanks Laura and Paper Smooches for the giveaway.
So creative, Laura! Your ink blending is seamless and love how you paired the two sets of dies! Gorgeous card ♥
Laura, I love this card and have ordered the stamp set and church dies. I want to make this card for my two son’s Easter card. Will you show us how you partially die cut the church on a video? By the way, I love your videos 😀 Thank you!
