Encouragement

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.

I am linking this to:

Thank you for visiting - May your day be blessed.
