I used Ken Oliver's Color Burst on each of these fronts and 2 of the eggs, the other egg, I cut out and used a silver cardstock that I embossed to back for the egg. I embossed with silver on several places on the cards as well as the Happy Easter. I layered with Silver cardstock and the Color Burst cardstock<br />

The bow is seam binding and the flowers are made from tissue paper. I cut the tissue paper with Spellbinders Cinch and Go Flowers. Love the shape of these flowers. Tissue paper is not real easy to work with, but I like the end result. The edge border is from Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motifs.</div>

The run will be on motorcycles down Route 66, so I made cards with that in mind. It's fun to do themed cards.</div>

My friend, Jamie's, grandfather (Poppy) is having his 84th birthday this month. He was a Free Mason and was in the service, this card showed both. Jamie was really pleased at how I made this card and could hardly wait to give it to him. She will go visit him for his birthday, he lives in Florida.</div>

<span style="color: teal;"><i><b>Lasting Hearts</b> is
here to help comfort mothers who have lost a piece of their heart.
Losing a child, whether in pregnancy or older, can be one of the hardest
pains a parent can endure. We would like to raise awareness and show
other mothers that they are not alone, that they are stronger than they
realize, and that there are people out there who care dearly. Hopefully,
our story will move others to do just that.</i></span><br />
