The first two are made using the coloured images from Lulu Design Art    https://www.etsy.com/shop/LuluDesignArt
layered onto papers from Dollar Graphics Depot, plus washi tape and twine.

On the third one is a lovely stamp from Jess College Fund    http://www.jesscollegefund.blogspot.no/
I have printed the image onto white card, coloured with markers and cut out.
Background made up as follows:  Spring flowers papers and digi ribbons from Dollar Graphics Depot, cloud paper from Pink Gem.  Top sentiment from Create with TLC and I have typed the second one.

This is the second card I made today with some of the new images from Daydream Designs.
http://www.dianesdaydreamdesigns.com/

I have layered precoloured digi stamp and sentiments from Daydream Designs "Christ is risen" onto one of the papers from Daydream Designs "Easter Morning Papers" - "Lilly white".  Layered all onto purple card.
(the paper doesn't show very well in the scan, it has a faint stripe through it)

These sets are great value $3 US for the paper set - 10 papers.
$4 US for the Christ is Risen set which has pre coloured plus black and white images for you to colour plus 8 sentiments.
