Phil 1:3 - I Thank My God Upon Every Remembrance of You

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another card designed with the June Stamp of the Month, Texture Tiles II along with previously released stamp sets, Special Blend and Scripture & Sentiment Companions from  Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps!  

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and incorporated the Splitcoaststampers(SCS) SC701 Sketch Challenge, the SCS CC685 Color Challenge and the Word ArtWednesday #338-#339 “Anything Goes” Challenge into the design.

Don't forget, you can receive the June Stamp of the Month, Texture Tiles II free with a $75 (net US $$ after all discounts) plus shipping is free on orders $75 and over!

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1).  Using archival black ink, stamp cup image from Special Blend  and the verse sentiment from Scripture & Sentiment Companions onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the cup image with a stitched oval die and hand trim the sentiment into a flag banner.

2). Die cut another oval from black cardstock (I used a die just a bit larger than the stitched oval) and mount the cup image onto the black oval. Color the image using distress ink and markers.  Add a bit of stenciling to the background with a chevron stencil.

3). Mount the scripture sentiment onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

4). Using the cracked line image from Texture Tiles II, stamp repeatedly onto a piece of white cardstock.  Tap a bit of distress oxide ink onto a clear envelope, spritz with water and place the cardstock into the ink, lift and repeat to finish the background.  Dry with a heat tool and die cut with a stitched rectangle die before mounting onto a die cut rectangle from black cardstock.

5). Die cut the designer paper rectangles with a rectangle die, mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.  Mount onto the background panel (per the sketch), add the die cut oval with dimensional foam.  Add the sentiment (using dimensional foam on the far right side) and add the pink button. FYI- I used a small strip of black cardstock to mimic the thread for the button :-)

6). Use a glitter pen to add shimmer to stacked cup image and add a few sequins to finish off the card.
