White on White Easter

I made this Easter card for my Mum as she loves white on white cards, and cards with a Christian flavour.
This one really sparkles in reality, the camera hasn't picked up all the glitter and mica.
 The base mat was punched with a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set for a pretty, floral edge.
For the next layer, I used an Imagination Crafts stencil and Imagination Crafts Diamond Sparkle Medium, spreading the medium through the stencil with a palette knife.  I added an organza ribbon with a double bow to this layer and decorated the corners with gems and pearls.
To make the egg topper, I die cut egg shapes with Xcut dies, embossed the larger one with an Embossalicious folder, then used an Imagination Crafts stencil and Imagination Crafts Sparkle Gel, mixed with a little pale gold mica power, applied in the same way as the background.  Once dry these were layered together with foam pads.  The crosses were die cut with Spellbinders dies, I highlighted some ares of the smaller cross with Glamour Dust and a Quickie glue pen.
To embellish, I made some flowers and a flourish with Spellbinders dies and punch, and finished with a stamped sentiment, die cut into a tag shape with a Sizzix die.
