I made this as I needed another masculine card and I was hanging out to use my Layers of Color Architectural Blocks stamps.
I also wanted a card for the Our Daily Bread Designs 2nd Anniversary competition, and also the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #45, and another entry in the Crazy 4 Challenges masculine card challenge
I used a dark green base card with a light cream layer before I stamped the architectural blocks stamps on light brown cardstock in Adirondack Caramel ink.
The centre panel is my favourite scripture, embossed in gold, distressed and sponged with Tim Holtz Tea Dye ditress ink before being mounted in dimensional foam tape.
The corners were embossed in gold on the brown card stock using a larger version of the same stamp, cut down to fit, and I then added the 'gems'.
I used the balance of the corner pieces on the inside of the card, where I also placed the sentiment.
Thanks for calling by - despite the brief entry.
Have a great day.
