Hi
Again Stampers!!
The
entire world grieves with France this weekend as the details of the terrorist
attacks unfold- our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time of
tragedy.
“Our
help is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8
and we are praying that the victims of this tragedy will be comforted and have a peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil 4:7).
As I prayed for France, I wanted to create a card reflecting that prayer, so I decided to pull out the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) Parisian and Tender
Thoughts stamp set along with the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Scripture
Collection 3 stamp set and use the Freshly Made Sketches FMS212 Challenge.
To create
this card:
Stamp the Eiffel Tower image from the SNSS Parisian Postcard stamp
set using Versamark™ ink, stamp onto Whisper White cardstock, apply Stampin’
Emboss® Black Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Once the embossing powder has cooled, carefully cut out the Eiffel
Tower image.
Stamp the Psalm 124:8 verse from the ODBD Scripture Collection 3 images
using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, use the Big Shot™
with the My Favorite Things (MFT) Stitched Square STAX die to cut out the
image, mount onto Basic Black cardstock and trim to create the frame.
Cut a larger square with the MFT Stitched Square STAX die from
Whisper White cardstock, ink the retired Stampin’ Up! (SU!) Script background
stamp with Smoky Slate Classic Ink, lay the die cut square onto the inked
background stamp and press the paper lightly into the ink, lift and mount onto
a piece of Basic Black cardstock (trimming the edges to create a thin frame).
Ink the sentiment from SNSS Tender Thoughts using Stāz-On® Jet
Black onto Whisper White cardstock, trim and punch the ends with the Hexagon
Punch, mount onto Basic Black cardstock and punch the Basic Black cardstock
ends with the Hexagon Punch.
Trim a piece of retired Moonlight Designer Series Paper (DSP),
mount onto Whisper White cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Basic Black
card base.
Add the Scripture layer directly onto the card front, overlap with
the larger square using Stampin’ Dimensionah.
Trim a piece of retired Moonlight Designer Series Paper (DSP),
mount onto Whisper White cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Basic Black
card base.
Add the Scripture layer directly onto the card front, overlap with
the larger square using dimensional foam.
Add the fussy cut Eiffel Tower using dimensional foam (adding
additional foam for the top of the tower), adhere the Silver Metallic Thread in
the area behind the sentiment banner and mount the sentiment banner using dimensional
foam.
Add a few Rhinestones to finish off the card.

My prayer is that if you have not accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, that today would be the day of your salvation "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
"Believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31a).
Thanks
again for stopping by- hugs and I hope you have a blessed week, my friends!

Oh, Julie, what a beautiful card and so perfect to express our sorrow at this tragedy Friday in Paris. What a gorgeous card with the SNSS and ODBD stamps, and I so love this Scripture to remind us from Whom our Help and Hope are. Praise God that He alone is in control of it all. So glad you've shared this beautiful and encouraging card, sweet friend! Hugs!
Beautiful card Julie! I love that sentiment! Such an encouraging verse and one we can rely on through these troubling times! I must say I am sure glad my hope is in the Lord!
