Silver, Red and Scripture

Welcome

I  recently made a card to encourage a friend, and this was the result.
The word art was from Karen Wright at Papercraft Memories, cut with a die and sponged before removing the die.


I started with a white base, and then a layer of red embossed card, as I know that red is a favoured colour of the recipient.


The silver panel was a piece of acetate that was painted with silver paint on the back and then embossed. 


The flower is a stack of three fabric flowers held together with a brad.


The card was finished with a string of pearls.

I am linking this to:

Thanks so much for visiting - I so appreciate any comments left.
May your day be blessed

    That red and silver is so elegant looking and your card is gorgeous! LOVE all the embossing on this one and the sponging around that sentiment.
    So pretty!
