He is Risen

I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy. I am still working, but my work as a nurse has been slow. I work in insurance and we have less people having surgery and in the hospital. But the people in the hospital are sick. It just makes me sad that no matter how sick they are they can't have many visitors, even if they are dying which breaks my heart. So that's why I craft....to deal with my stress. I was asked why I am making so many cards right now. I cannot see my family or friends and I know that people are suffering physically and emotionally so that is my way of dealing with it.
And for the upcoming Easter holiday in another vintage looking card, I found a freebie image that I had in my stash from Magic Moonlight and a sentiment I put on the bottom from TLC, Create.  I distressed the papers. I added a couple of butterflies with some bling, some roses and a gold ribbon.

    It must be so difficult for you at work Lisa, seeing people ill and in distress can't be easy at the best of times...and let's face it these are definitely not the best.
    Stay strong and well yourself, so glad that the crafting helps you to deal with everything.
    Beautiful card btw!

    Gorgeous card Lisa I love the image, the flowers and the distressed papers. Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Cardmakers!
    Please take time to ensure you look after yourself, and yes crafting does help to escape the real world. Thinking of you, hugs Glenda.
