I bought a big pack of Papermania 12 x 12 paper at half price a while ago and was just having a look through it last night and thought the pale aqua and lemon would make a lovely Easter card - so here it is!
The sentiment is computer generated and really is the true meaning of Easter. I've used Rose Topiary, another of my digis available from A Passion for Stamps and coloured it with Promarkers and added a little glitter to the berries. Then I got a little bit carried away with a box of punches and die cuts!
I love these colours together. Below is the verse which I printed for the inside, mounted on Nellie Snellen die cuts,

A few weeks ago I was given a card which I had made when I was 9 years old (that's 38 years ago!!)for my Sunday School teacher who had had a heartattack. I had no idea the card was kept and didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw it!! Oh well, at least they say "it's the thought that counts!"
Stunning Easter card Ruth, such perfect colours and I love the pretty image and verse! Wow, I can't believe your card was given to you after all this time, it's so sweet! :) Love, Georgia xx

What a wonderful card to share with us from when you were 9! I see the talent started really early in your career. :) It must have warmed your heart that it was still cherished over all these years! Your 'current' card is just beautiful. All the delicate details are so perfect, I love your lined frame after running it through the cuttlebug.
