Welcome
It is once again time for a new challenge over at Word Art Wednesday
The scripture is a favourite of mine, and as it was in such a fine print I enlarged it before printing, and made a square card this time. Not my normal!
I used a patterned paper from a Rosie's Pad for the background and for layering the scripture onto. The doily behind the feature panel was too large, but any others I had were too small so I improvised by cutting it into quarters, overlapping and adhering them onto the back of the panel, lining up the corners, which gave in interesting finish, but I was happy with it.
The white edges were all sponged with a pink ink, and some rose pink sequins add a wee bit of sparkle
The lace I added to two of the sides was also used to tie the bow
I love the feminine/vintage look that this card has - I should do it more often!!
