Matthew 22:37- Love the Lord Your God

Hi Stampers! 

I had a chance to spend some time this evening and decided to create a card using the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSSCC224 Color Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers’ SC566 Sketch (I flipped the sketch upside down :-))

I hope you will have a chance to visit and check out all of the wonderful Design projects and other entries at the above sites!

To create this card:

Ink the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Scripture Collection #9 using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock.

Use the Big Shot™ with the My Favorite Things (MFT) Stitched Oval STAX die to cut out the sentiment and mount onto another oval cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits™ from Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

Cut the Blackberry Bliss oval cut in half, adhere the halves behind the stitched oval sentiment showing just a part of the frame.

Ink the retired Musical Score background stamp using Delightful Dijon Classic Ink and stamp onto a piece of Delightful Dijon cardstock.

Trim the edges of the background stamped panel, add the crochet lace and re-adhere the edges.

Add the strips of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to cover the seam.

Using the 1 ¼” Circle Punch, punch four circles to create the scallop design, place on the back side of Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (DSP) and trace along  the edge with pencil.

Cut the DSP along the traced edge and trim the sides to size.

Use the Distressing Tool to distress the paper, add Range punch four circles to create the scallop design (per the sketch), place on the back side of Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (DSP) and trace along the edge with pencil.

Hand-cut the DSP along the traced edge and trim the sides to size.

Use the Distressing Tool to distress the paper, add Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink to age the paper and use the Crimper Tool to crimp the panel.

Add the DSP to the front panel and mount the entire panel onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

Add the crochet lace to the top of the panel, adhere a piece of Delightful Dijon cardstock (stamped with the Musical Score background stamp) and add the 3/8” Stitched Blackberry Bliss Satin Ribbon bow.

Mount the entire panel onto the Delightful Dijon card base (also stamped with the Musical Score background stamp using Delightful Dijon Classic Ink).

Mount the oval verse using dimensional foam and add the Blackberry Bliss cardstock roses and leaves (roses cut from Blackberry Bliss cardstock with the Big Shot™ using MFT Royal Mini and Royal Rose Dies and the leaves from Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Martha Stewart (MS) Leaf Punch).

Add a few Pearls to finish off the card.
