Welcome
I am running late, thanks to life getting extremely hectic of late....
This is my post for the new Word Art Wednesday Challenge, where we ae being sponsored by
Heartfelt Creations, who are offering a U.S. $20 voucher to their store
The wonderful scripture is crafted by Karen M, and is available free over at the challenge blog.
I die cut it using a Sizzix stitched oval die.
The inset panel is water colour paper which I smeared Opal Polish Summer Sky over, then sprayed very lightly with Lindy's Hydrangea Blue Starburst Spray. It has a fabulous shine and colour interference, which is so difficult to photograph - you can get some hint of it from the above shot, especially when you compare it with the other photos.
I decorated the left inside of the card with another die cut stamp - the stamps (and dies) were a freebie from the Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine #215.
I used my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils to colour the flower springs.
