Welcome
This was made for a couple going through a hard time.
The background was made using brushos on an embossing folder - this was the third 'pull' and done in the negative, so the panel is debossed.
As the purple was the dominant colour on this time through, I chose to make the feature panel in purple card. die cut it with a SB Floral Oval die, then embossed the ODBD scripture on it in Ranger Detail White Embossing powder.
The scripture I stamped inside was also an ODBD stamp from the same set.
I finished the outside of the card with some gold edged white ribbon from my stash, and rounded two corners.
I am sorry I have not been visiting much these past few weeks, but life has been very busy, and I may not be online much over the next few weeks as I have a family wedding and a conference to attend as well as gardens that are crying out for attention now spring has decided to arrive...

Maxine your card is beautiful. And the scripture is also beautiful! I hope all goes well for the couple you are sending it to.

Beautiful vintage and classy feel'! Love the colours you combined! (and should use more texture like that myself...) Enjoy the weekend!
How pretty, and how kind of you to make an encouraging card for your friends to let them know you are thinking of them. You got some really nice color on the 3rd pull, and the purple of the center focal point, really brings the EF color out so well. Enjoy the upcoming activities. We all need to remember, blogging/card making is a hobby! We still need to enjoy Life! (and I need to keep that in mind too, when I get so far behind with visiting, making cards!) Hope you have a wonderful spring too. TFS & Hugs
