Welcome
For this new challenge at Word Art Wednesday we are being sponsored by Stamps of Life, who are generously providing a $25 voucher for the winner.
I love the way this card came together, and although the camera has portrayed the colour as a darker toned orange, it is actually a vibrant, bright orange!
I cut the printed verse (Ps 40:5) using a S/B lacy rectangle die, embossing and sponging orange ink around the border before removing it from the die
The orange card in the background was embossed with a very old Cuttlebug folder called Swiss Dots - it is still a favourite
The butterflies were cut from silver sparkle card, attached to the card over some gauze, with a clear rectangular rhinestone added to the middle of the body
I layered a strip of silver florist 'mesh' behind the feature panel also.
The inside was finished with some sponging of orange ink on the writing panel

LOVE this Maxine, the bright orange is just beautiful against the silver along with a beautiful frame of lovely words...hugs.x
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty Maxine. The verse is really lovely and looks great on your card.
ReplyDeleteStunning Maxine - I love orange and it is perfect with the silver. The scripture is perfectly framed! Love it xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful card. Love Swiss Dots, it will always be a favourite with me too. I do like how the butterflies turned out, they really do sparkle - what a great effect - enhanced by the gauze too, must use that idea if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely words.
Blessings, Neet xx

Stunning Card Maxine!
ReplyDeleteMaxine, your card is so pretty with that fabulous verse and the sparkly elements.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job framing the Scripture for this week, Maxine. I LOVE orange and your delicate butterflies are perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful inside and out! The silver pops.
ReplyDeleteI am wild about the color orange! The perfect way to highlight this incredible scripture!!
ReplyDeleteOh Maxine, this is just gorgeous! What a perfect verse and I love the pop of orange for your card - such a refreshing color! The wee bit of guaze of a nice touch! Beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card. Thanks for sharing this with us at A Place to Start for our January challenge.
ReplyDeleteI so love those gorgeous silver butterflies embellishments, the gauze, and your orange card with the verse on it- perfection! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Maxine. DT hat on - love the orange and silver together, and swiss dot EF is still a fave of mine too. Thanks for sharing with us at Incy Wincy, CarolG
ReplyDeleteSuch an eye catching card with a wonderful verse x.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of orange and silver is lovely. I hadn't thought of putting those together. Your card is very pretty. Thank you for joining the Anything Goes Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful Maxine! I love the orange panel embossed, yes the swiss dots embossing folder is still a favorite for many people, including me. I love the sparkly butterflies with the gauze under them, give such a wonderful texture as does that stripe of mesh that goes across the card. But it is the scripture itself that I am loving. The die you used to cut it out is so beautiful and I love the way you sponged it while it was still in the die. So beautiful! A great way to carry that sponging inside as well. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeletePretty card!
ReplyDeleteA great card with pretty layers. Thank you for sharing your project with us for the ATG challenge at Through The Craft Room Door (TTCRD) this time.
