Welcome
Another week has rolled around, and it's time for anew challenge over at Word Art Wednesday - and the scripture this week is from Isaiah 28 v29.
I decided to make an elongated card with this scripture, and to go a bit grungy so it could be used for a man or woman.
I started with by halving a rich cream piece of A4 card width-wise, then folding one of the pieces lengthwise.
Over this was layered a piece of black card that I had stencilled through a crocodile stencil by T.H. with Versamark ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder.
Before adhering this to the base, I tied some rough twine around one end.
The scripture was trimmed and layered onto some corrugated card - it had been smooth on both sides, so I tore off the outer layer on one side, leaving it a bit rough -
one end was also roughly cut on an angle.
I kept the card simple so the scripture could take the eye, but I love how the textures have come together to give this some character.

A lovely card Maxine, I like the 'grungy' look!
It sure is universal and very grungy which is just as right. Loving how twine and corrugated cardboard have been combined together.
Love,
Monica
I love how you have layered this quote Maxine an I just adore the way the stencil has turned out. I would never have thought of using Versamark like that through a stencil on the black card and then clear ep on top. It looks fabulous! Thanks for the tip/idea - something I must try out.

That is really cool. Great layout design and super wet embossing :-)

WOW! Awesome textures on this gorgeous card, Maxine!
Wonderful texture and love the black clear embossing and the shape of the card is different and so eye catching x Gorgeous card x.
so unusual to see the carton and glinster together, but it looks so good together! Hugs, Gerrina
I love the black background texture. I missed seeing that in the original photo I posted. I know that (in most cases) art is much more beautiful in real life. I always enjoy your embossing skills (something I lack). This is really a cool project and showcases the scripture beautifully. Have a blessed week, my dear friend.
Blessings,

Such a great card! The embossing is stunning and the corrugated card adds so much texture with the twine! Very becoming fonts for a wonderful verse! So happy you shared with us at Digi Choosday! ~Katrina
