Welcome, and thanks for popping by to visit.
I needed a card for a young man, and was scrabbling around on my desk when I came across a card I was never happy with... so I dismantled it, and used just the embossed scripture from it. The stamp is from Our Daily Bread Designs and embossed with bronze embossing powder.

I then went ahead and made a background, using distress stains in Broken China and Bundled Sage stamping and masking it with a tree from Unity Stamps Love Joy Peace set, and then and spraying it with silver glimmer mist.
I then stamped a sentiment using a Craft's Meow stamp that I had cut in half to stamp horizontally on a banner I hand cut, and mounted over foam dots to give it some dimension.
I mounted the finished panel over a yellow card and then onto dark green base.
Over all I am very pleased with it.

Beautiful card, I love the effect of your background. Thanks for playing along at CRAFT challenge. Sharon x
What a beautiful card, Maxine! I love the way you gave dimension with the hump in the sentiment. Very nice!!!
Fab card Maxine. I am in awe over the embossing... I never have any luck doing sentiments with embossing powder and usually end up with a mess. Yours is perfect!
Beautiful verse, and love how you gold embossed this.

Maxine,
Your card is lovely. I find great depth in the stamped images. The Happy BD tag is really inventive especially with that curve.

Great card Maxine! What a great way to make something out of a card you didn't really like!!!
Maxine, this is very well done! I just love bronze EP and your card is a perfect example of why. I really admire the handmade DP, it looks fabulous with the scripture and the colors are wonderful. Great way to repurpose the scripture panel!
