Welcome
My kitchen is a shambles, but as a friend once said, you can't make an omelette without breaking an egg!
Last week's Word Art Wednesday Challenge is sponsored by DRS.
As I don't have any of their products, I used a background technique to feature the scripture, which is available free from the challenge site.
I used interference inks, Opalite brand, over shiny black card. Unfortunately I am nearly out of the card, so cut the base of the piece to 'stretch' it.
I mounted the scripture panel over the main piece.
Love the marbled look of the inks, and the sheen of them, over the black.
As there were no more scraps, I decorated the inside with Washi tape.
Blessings

What a beautiful background. Really love the way you stretched it
Stunning Maxine. I have some Opalite inks that I haven't used in a very very long time. Must remember to break them out.
Happy Birthday ♥
An adorable card and magnificent script/ Love this. x
Wow that technique looks amazing Maxine and it is a shame you have run out of the shiny black card x. Beautiful card and good luck with the kitchen...hang on in there x.
That marble look looks so beautiful!
And most of the tiles I do the household work first, but sometimes you just have to have 'me-time'! And some ideas have to go out of my head and onto paper... Enjoy your week and stay save! Hugs, Gerrina
You have created a fabulous background for your scripture Maxine, a great idea to stretch your card.

Maxine, this is so pretty! You did such a creative job with the challenge!
I'm sure you're looking forward to your newly remodeled kitchen, hopefully the mess will be worth it.
Lovely card Maxine. I really like the background you created. Don't you just hate it when you are a bit short on something? That was a great solution.
Are you doing a kitchen remodel Maxine?? I guess I missed something! lol This card is just stunning! I don't understand how you made that amazing background, but it looks like space/heaven! It is just stunning in all ways. I love that scripture as well, so beautiful. I hope you are able to get more shiny black card as you are so good at this technique. Hugs, Brenda
I'm running very late this week so just popping in for quick hello and peek, great effect with that background.

I love the shimmer of Opalites! Bet your card is even more stunning IRL!!!
I love the overlay used like this and your beautiful background. This has made a beautiful card which does not detract from the scripture in any way but is still there to see and admire.
Blessings, Neet xx
