Thanks so much for visiting - I trust you feel welcome here.
The card I want to share today is one that wish to give to a friend stepping out on a short term missions trip.
I used the Layers of Color stamp sets Gothic Crosses and Encouragement.
The cross was stamped and embossed in gold on cream card - it is a darker cream IRL.
The sentiment was also gold embossed and cut with a Spellbinders Lacy Circle, and sponged with Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink before removing the die.
The dp is from the Prima Fairy Flora 6x6 stack, and embossed de-bossed with the Swiss Dots folder.
The final detail was to add this hand died seam binding that was a RAK from Lovely Linda and mount it all on cream card stock which I had sponged the edges of with more gold ink.

Thank you for visiting - May your day be blessed.
