Preparation for Easter Holy Week

Easter is one of the most important holidays we celebrate. This is the season to remember what the Lord has done for us, to redeem us and to purchase us with His blood to be His forever. The season where we are reminded that death is defeated! Our Lord is alive. He is the Living God we adore, worship and serve.

Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross makes a way for sinners (you and I) to come to the Father and be forgiven. The way He prepares for each of us to go back to the grace of God who has been waiting for so long to have the relationship with us. This is purely God’s action, solution and intention. We are offered the way of life through believing in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

Would you take it? Would you response to that calling? Would you answer the door He has been knocking for a while? Would you let Him restore and renew your life?

The greatest love ever shown and known in the whole history of human kind is the act of love of Jesus on the cross. He died for you and me, for the world. His love for us is unconditional, unmeasured, and forever. We are called to the same thing. For this kind of love, we rejoice, have peace and will drive us to show the same love to others.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us.

So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

(1 John 3:6)

God would do anything to save everyone. He is waiting patiently for each of us. Time is a great gift for us. But no one knows when the end of this grace time will come. This is the time to make decision.

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think.

No, he is being patient for your sake.

He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

(2 Peter 3:9)

God gives lots of things for us to use to prepare our hearts for Easter, the Bible, devotions, Bible studies, and sermons every week we can listen from our Pastors. All these accesses are for us to come to know Him, to love Him and to obey Him so that we can be His witnesses to the world who He is, so that they may come to know Him and trust in Him through Jesus Christ.

And for me, making Easter cards is one of the way I feel God put in my heart to share His love and words with others. Here are the first set I did.

Spring Daffodils

Spring is one of my favorite seasons because the flowers are just gorgeous. I am looking forward to enjoy the beauty of the Daffodils at our backyard in the next week. They have some buds coming out and when they bloom, they bring the Spring colors 🙂

Today’s card is inspired by them 🙂 and also some inspirations from Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge – Spring Pinterest Inspiration:

First, I stamped the image on a piece of watercolor paper with Versamark Ink Pad, and then added some Ranger Gold embossing powder and heat set it using my CTMH Craft Heater.

Using CTMH Watercolor Pencils, I colored the flowers and stems and then using my aqua paint brush (retired) to wet them. I decided to add some blue on the background. I picked up the color directly from the CTMH Watercolor Pencils using the aqua paint brush and add it to the paper lightly.

Then using CTMH Craft Heater to dry the watercolor completely (quick way, but you can let it dries naturally) and then I stamped the sentiment from Greatest Love stamp set (B1444) using Black Exclusive Ink Pad.
