Welcome,wowed
and a special welcome to my newest follower, Patti, who makes beautiful cards. If you want to be, 'wowed' pop over to her blog, Stationery Styles and gasp at her work!
I am a ferw hours late with this, thanks to a migraine that assaulted me yesterday...
The wonderful scripture that the Word Art Wednesday DT were given to work with this week was Proverbs 11:25. I chose to print in a large format as the print is fine
When I then looked at the size, I decided to use an oval die cut , and tilted it to one side, which means that it over hangs the card edge by a wee bit, but it certainly adds interest to the card
Although the patterned paper is quite a busy pattern, the colour palette was limited, so I decided to go with a dark base card, and accent the gild highlights in it
The die cut was sponged with Delicata Gold ink before removing the die
Because the paper was so busy, I kept the embellishments simple by using just the lilies. i did add the detail of the scalloped border, and below that a strip of gold that matched the foil in the paper, although that does not show here with the reflections.

Oh Maxine, migraines are crippling, aren't they! Glad it finally eased off and you could get to more exciting activities!
I love what you chose to do with the scripture - the overhanging oval gives your design character. You flowers are lovely and I think you made the perfect decision to go with the darker base card.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us at The Paper Shelter!

That you tilted the oval makes it more special and looks good even though with a busy background the lilies pop just enough! Hugs, Gerrina
A lovely design Maxine. I am glad that you are over your migraine now, they are so nasty!
beautiful Maxine. Love the way you've tilted the oval. Hope the migraine is better. I get bad headaches (not migraines) so can feel your pain.
Sorry to hear about the migraine x What a striking card, beautiful sentiment and a fabulous design and yes the oval die cut on the tilt adds wonderful interest x
Delightful and so pretty, thanks for commenting while I am away. We are having a lovely time away and it was nice to just have a play now and again to relax while having an extremely busy days...hugs..

Commiserations re migraine they’re not fun at all, dear Maxine, p and are very debilitating. So glad it’s okay and pray it stays that way a long, long time.
Lovely verse, and clever idea it offset the oval like that lovely DP too.
Great flowers not seen them around!
I’m on improve, had two days and night with toothache, had another temporary filling today and some of gum cut away on a broken molar tooth, it’s non repairable and needs crown and bridge but can’t get done till better after op next week. Cortisone has kept me alive for fifty years but multiple side affects and two of them are dental and skin cancer problems ...related to that treatments side affects. Compromised immune system.. however LORD is gracious indeed, am very grateful for tooth, it’s but sore but will be ok, I pray so anyways... as naturally affects sleeps ..

This is stunning Maxine! I love that background paper, the "stitching" on your oval and your inking on the scripture. Those lilies are so beautiful on this card as well. Love them and love this card! Hugs, Brenda
Very pretty!! I really like the fun touch from tilting the oval die cut a bit! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
How beautifully done- the oval die cut it wonderful! Love your accents of sponging, and wow- love the gorgeous lilies!!! All in all, a gorgeous card!!!
Very pretty card!
Beautiful paper Maxine. LOVE the shimmer and shine of it. You need to be surrounded with rainbows lovely lady, so glad you are crafting with them. Hoping you have friends around you who lift you up when the clouds seem especially dark. Have been thinking of you and sending you thoughts of love and strength. Hugs, Wends xoxo
Such a beautiful card, and what a lovely quote. I like the idea of the slight slant to the oval - the perfect shape to go with the shell like pattern of the paper.
Lovely!
Blessings, Neet xx
Hope the migraine has gone x
