Ok so having completed most of the elements for this card I then realised that since I was going to give this one to my parents I might need to incorporate some religous element as they are both quite devout catholic's. Now this caused me some concern because how was I meant to do this, I haven't really seen any cute religous images for easter (lets face it, I really dont think there is one) and I wasn't about to color someone on the cross, nothing nice about that is there!  

Then I came accross this sentiment circle digi stamp from Sentiments 4 You, which I thought would work nicely just giving it that touch of , YES mum I do remember what easter is really all about.

Because my printer ink ran out of color ink I had to print it out in black, I then went over it with purple glitter pen.
