Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Easter Parade Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! It’s an Easter Parade this week for our blog hop team. I created this pretty card using the Easter Lilies Bundle:

What I love the most about this bundle is having a choice of stamping the lilies or diecutting them like I did here with some detailed dies. I sponged over the detail with Blending Brushes to make the diecut layers pop:
