If you got here from the wonderfully talented Silke's Blog, you are in the right place. 






      For my card I am using Cross of  Christ stamp set. I combined some of my Stampin Up In color patterned papers for this card.  So far I have not purchased any new designer papers this whole year.  I am trying to use more of what I already own.  Sort of a fun challenge for myself.   I added some stitching and layered inked distressed corrugated cardboard.  I decided to use one of my older spellbinder frames that I have not used in awhile.  I stamped the largest Cross in the set with Memento Cocoa ink.  I ink distressed the edges.    I finished with some tiny gold pearls, seam binding bow, and pearl button.



      As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the fabulously talented Connie's Blog!
