Happy Thursday! I finally got a chance to play in my craft room this afternoon. I have been busy this week doing some fall cleaning. My card today is for this week's ODBD Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC123). We are to stamp our background with either a background stamp or use one stamp repeatedly. I chose to do both for my background design.
I am using ODBD newly released Scripture Series 3 stamp set along with God's Love, God's Hands, and Randi's Song.
I combined some kraft, ivory, and wisteria card stocks. I stamped using a fine linen ink the grunge butterfly image from God's Love all over the back. This shade gave a more tonal look on the kraft and is hard to capture on camera. I also stamped the wisteria with some lavender Memento ink, but ended up covering up most of that panel with an ivory panel stamped in the same linen ink. This panel shows a little better, but the other elements on the card sort of cover it up, too. LOL! Trust me when I say all panels were stamped. The wisteria fishtail was stamped with the script stamp from Randi's song with lavender ink. Again, since it is so tonal hard to capture on camera, but all looks great in real life.
I am using Deconstructed Sketch No. 69. I layered the focal image with the God's Hand image stamped in linen onto ivory. I then stamped the scripture over with Memento black. I ink distressed all the panels, added some stitching, a coffee dyed seam binding bow, button, and two corsage pins to finish the card.As always thanks so much for stopping by!
