Welcome - as promised, another card.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves and keep the words to a minimum.
I started out with a totally different idea, but it just did not work, so I changed tack, and this is the result.
The main image was stamped in a deep red on kraft card stock.
The scripture was gold embossed and sponged before I mounted it on foam dots.
The sentiment was also gold embossed and the edges sponged, before being mounted over raffia ribbon on foam dots.
The contrast between the red on green really made this card come to life.
