Welcome
Happy New Year, and may you have a marvelous year this year!!
The first challenge this year at Word Art Wednesday is today - a wonderful start to 2020.
Our sponsor is the fabulous Stamp Simply , and they are offering as a prize either two stamp sets, or a stamp set and matching dies. BTW, they have an amazing sale on at the moment.
I went to get my Simply Stamped Roses stamp set out, and discovered I had this coloured and die cut image already in the packet, so that was my starting point.
I reached for blue for the contrast colour on the front of the card - the edges were all sponged with Faded Jeans DI, the strip of PP is from the Kaiser Craft Starburst paper pad.
The image was silver embossed and coloured with Prismacolor pencils. The base paper is a textured pale cream coloured paper that adds some more subtle interest. This was all mounted over some Canary cardstock.
I stamped the inside with the image in the Faded Jean DI, and lightly coloured it to match the outside image. The liner was also edged with the blue ink.

ReplyDeleteHi Maxine. I always admire your cards and look forward to seeing them because - no matter what - you always manage to find a lovely way to put something inside. And you've done it again! CarolG
ReplyDeleteMaxine this is a beautiful card! You are the queen of Embossing Powder! That single rose is fabulous and I love the scripture! Happy 2020!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all may I wish you a Happy New Year, all the very best for 2020. Secondly thank you for commenting on my blog as you do, I feel I made a friend over the water such a long time ago and she is still with me.
ReplyDeletePleased to say my back has been much better, not right and I guess it never will be, but there is improvement thanks to the chiropractor who has had help from above in her hands. God works in many ways.
Now to your card - I love this rose. What a delightful card - I love how you have coloured it and used the blue to edge the inspirational words, it works so well.
Blessings, Neet xx
This is lovely, Maxine. Great design to showcase this Scripture.
