Easter Crosses for 2019

From the epistle of 1st John, we have a reminder that God loves us so much that His Son Jesus was our substitute on the cross:

My sister-in-law Linda, her daughter Lisa with fiancé Kevin, and Lisa's daughter Bridgette drove 4 hours one way to visit with us this afternoon for about 3 hours! They are going to do some river road on the return drive (about 20 miles worth) along the Illinois River in order to have a break from all the flat land! :)

I made these Scripture crosses as their keepsake for Easter weekend.

Design notes and details along with the challenge blogs that I will be linking this project to=

Marshmallow white cardstock (Colorbok) served as the paper for the Scripture typed in a Google Doc. I tried several different fonts and sizes until I got this situated like I was envisioning. I'd been seen several different word art verse crosses in some Bible journaling groups in the past week or two and knew I could create a forgery.

Last night I measured out the edges then cut out each one (document set up in 2 columns with 2 in each column). This week I was at Dollar Tree stocking up on some household items and ventured to the teaching/crafting section (shame on me!) and saw a 3-pack set of textured plastic rubbing plates!!! I decided to use the brick wall looking patterned one for the crosses. I used up to 5 different crayons to vary each one (brown, burnt sienna, raw sienna, apricot, and peach). Bright white crosses become interesting and textural with the depths of colors and line marks.
