Shadow Box Easter Cards

These Easter cards were cut on my Silhouette Cameo using a Lori Whitlock Silhouette Studio file I purchased in the Silhouette Design Store. I chose some pretty spring colors and cut out the layers and then assembled the shadow cards. These have tabs on the side for each of the layers rather than adhesive, and I really preferred that. I only needed to use my glue tape to close the "box" around the layers once they were all in place. I also adhered the rock in front of the tomb using foam tape and then used liquid glue for the flower in the front. I stamped the verse on the back using an old stamp I believe came from Just Rite Stamps (not entirely sure since I no longer have the packaging). The entire verse from the NIV translation reads: I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die. --John 11:25. What a beautiful promise from our Risen Savior! I pray that each of you reading this will have a blessed Easter rejoicing in Jesus' victory over sin and death. He is risen!
