Gold, Grey and a Die Cut

Welcome

Once again it is time for a new challenge at Word Art Wednesday
Our sponsor this time is Pink and Main, offering a $20 voucher to the winner


When I saw this scripture, I knew I wanted to use it to make a card for a specific person.  
I started with the piece of dark grey cardstock, which was the remnant of a sheet that had been cut, but I decided to challenge myself to make a differently sized card than my usual A6


The die I used is one of a (old) set by Memory Box - it was supposed to be used to cut an aperture in the base card, and have a coloured layer under it - I remembered that too late, so used it this way, trimming the shaped side with scissors.  I also chose to randomly re-insert some of the cut outs,


and the scattered some of the remaining cut outs across the scripture panel, which I had layered, offset, over a gold oval - it looks good, but oh the agony of picking up and gluing all those wee pieces :)


The inside was finished with a simple strip of gold tape.

What a clever design for your card, Maxine! Creative and resourceful! Verse is a wonderful reminder and it's great to read that the Holy Spirit was nudging you towards ministering to someone you know.

Lovely Maxine. I like making cards with a specific person in mind. using the punched squares was a good way to link the elements but I can imagine they were very fiddly to do. Kate x

Well worth all the effort Maxine and what a classy card, with a fabulous colour combination x.

I really like the way you used that (squared) die. I think it looks good like that and with one or two of the squares put back and the rest sprinkled across the page. What a good idea. I will now look through my dies to see if i have anything similar.
A lovely card - I do like the colour combo.
Hugs, & Blessings, Neet xx

Avery special scripture, one that should be remembered and quoted often. I love doing inlays. The disintegrating effect is unique in many ways. Very creative use of the punch outs. Love this card.

Hugs and Blessings,
Jim
