Easter Blessings!

Hi there blogger friends! 
Long time no post!  I've kinda been in a card making funk lately with no desire to make anything.  It's been almost 4 months since I've made or posted any cards. I wanted to make a Valentine's and St Patrick's card but never got to it. But here's my 1st card since New Years with an Easter blessing.

Entering in these challenges:

The Paper Shelter - #462 Add Flowers
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Easter/Spring (Won Top 3!)

I saw this sun rays embossing folder on a few cards and fell in love with it but couldn't find it anywhere because it's retired. So I decided to make my own. Cricut/Provo Craft put out a create an embossing folder kit quite awhile ago and I've had a couple sitting in my one of my craft drawers. So I pulled it out, followed the instructions and voila! 
It's actually a little more detailed than that 'cause you have to create an embossed impression on one side, and a debossed impression on the other and it took quite awhile, but anyway, it worked and there it is!

The stitched background and lattice dies are from Sue Wilson, the window is Crafter's Companion, the metallic paper, ribbon, butterfly, cross and flower stickers are from Michaels, and the inside senti background is from an Anna Griffin Sentiment Kit.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.
Easter Blessings!!
