Welcome
I would like to extend a warm welcome to my newest follower, Jessica, who's blog is here.

I was inspired by this video by Natasha Foote in making this style of card.
I made the background by simply swiping the ink pad over the background card.
I used a swirling motion when applying the ink pad (Lucky Clover DOX ink).
I then distressed the sides of the scripture panel with scissors - gently as I was using copy paper, then I sponged it with Tea Dye DI., and splattered it with black paint from a fine paint brush.
The cardstock used for the base has a linen texture to it, which added even more interest to the background.
The inside was finished with some washi tape.

Sometime the seemingly simple cards are quite the opposite. Very creative. Love the verse you used. Our God is great and loving.
Love, Hugs and Blessings,

Fun background technique, Maxine! Great design to showcase this week's Scripture. Have a great week!
The background swiping technique looks so effective and shows off the scripture panel beautifully Maxine x.
Your card is so much more successful than my attempt at this process - well done!
Adore that background
That background is so very effective Maxine and really sets off the scripture panel.

WOW Maxine. I love how your background turned out. I have tried that but have never had results that looked as wonderful as yours do. Amazing card!
Fabulous card! I really like your background. I've never thought to use the ink pad this way. Thanks for joining us at Pammies Inky Pinkies. Hope to see you again. Bonnie DT
Very pretty and creative card with beautiful letterforms taken from one of the verses in the Bible.
Have a nice weekend.
That's a lovely background Maxine! Its a wonderful card! Thanks for always being supportive of my work. Much love xx
I like the swinked background Maxine. Never thought to do the swinking in patterns rather than straight lines. Will have to have a go at that myself.
Maxine, this is such pretty card - your background looks fabulous and the scripture is perfect!
That BG is fabulous. So much interest and movement.
Off to see the technique on video shortly - it is lovely the way you have done it and what a lovely card this is. The verse is wonderful and I love that you have used brown with turquoise - a favourite combination of mine,
Blessings, Neet xx
