By The Seashore- Thy Word

Hi Friends!

Here is another fairly quick and easy card!  This is the first time I have stamped the verse image for this card (although I have owned it for at least a year)!  I love the mixed fonts on this, don't you?  

I am so thankful that I had the time to pull out this verse stamp along with the seashore set and combine it with this retired paper!  I have been hoarding this paper and when I saw the inspiration photo at the Just Add Ink #436 Inspiration Challenge, I thought it would be perfect!  Obviously, I was inspired by the starfish, the beach and water, well all of it for my card :-) 

In addition to the Just Add Ink Challenge, I am playing along with the As You See It #221 “Preferences-My Fav Card to Make is …. ” Challenge.  My favorite card to make is any card using Scripture.  

I love to use a particular Scripture/Bible Verse on a card to encourage the recipient (even on birthday cards) and I know that some of the recipients have told me that they display the cards year round.   

This card uses the Typografia in Faith set, Thy Word is a Lamp (from STAMPlorations) for the sentiment and the retired By the Seashore (Stampin' Up!) for the seashell/starfish images and the splatter image from One Wild Ride (currently available from Stampin' Up!) around the sand and seashells.  

To create this card:

De-static the piece of designer paper (I used the retired Scenic Scenery Designer Series Pack from Stampin’ Up!).  I thought this piece of dsp looked just like the photo (or almost, lol!). 

Stamp the verse image, Thy Word is a Lamp directly onto the designer series paper (dsp) with archival black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Stamp the shell/starfish images onto white cardstock with archival black ink, heat emboss with clear embossing powder and once cooled, watercolor with water-based markers and fussy cut.

Layer the background panel onto black cardstock, stamp the “sand” with the splatter stamp around the bottom and side of the panel with archival brown ink and adhere the seashells/starfish using dimensional foam (or chipboard, my preference lately).

Mount onto black cardstock, trim and mount onto the white card base.

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the sand and shells and the card is finished!
