Welcome
This card was made for a commission by a friend. One of the things she mentioned when requesting the card was that the recipient loves blue, so I started at that point. I was also inspired by the current sketch at Stamplorations

I started with a piece of paper that has spent a couple of years at least in the bottom of my 'spray box', and as I had until recently only a lemon, blue and silver glimmer sprays, it has a very deep sheen on it of these colours - I cut the paper to use a section of the mostly blue area, but it looks more silver in the photos. I ran it through an embossing folder called Grunge Dots.

I then lined up two pieces of double sided tape, removed the backing and applied blue glitter on it. I used some metallic waste to layer over that again

Next came the vellum, which is a pale blue, and embossed in a script folder.

The scripture is one from Word Art Wednesday, which I die cut, embossed and sponged, then layered over a scalloped rectangle.

The sentiment was silver embossed, then I cut it to a rectangle, put masking tape around the edge and sponged it, before using the scalloped die 'creatively' to be able to match the other panel.
The finishing touch were the three flat back pearls.

Gorgeous! I love all of the textures and the verse. Thank you for sharing your talent this week at TTCRD and please come and play again next week.
Wow, this looks amazing. I'm sure the recipient loved it. Love the bit of metallic bling over the strip of glitter. So glad you shared this with us for the Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenge.
Maxine, Well DONE! Love all the pretty colors on this one, and all the textures. Am really liking the effect of the metallic waste against the embossing & the pretty vellum. Love the torn paper look, and the verse was so appropriate. Liked the way you handed the word art with the die cuts, emboss & distressing. I'm sure your requestor loved it, as did whomever was lucky enough to receive it. Very lovely card. TFS & Hugs
