The Fear of the Lord

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another quick card designed with the brand new release stamp bundle, A Man of Knowledge along with the Craft Consortium Patina 6x6 Paper Pad and other supplies all from Stamp Simply!

The new A Man of Knowledge stamp bundle is perfect for all types of card, masculine or feminine- I love the book image as well as the sentiments and verses!

Also, I think all the patterns in the new Craft Consortium Patina 6x6 paper pad are fantastic for rustic, mixed media as well as masculine cards. 

Again, it was a bit difficult for me to get a good photo with the gold embossing, but in real life, the embossing looks so elegant, especially on the image of the books!

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #535-#536 “Anything Goes” Challenge , along with the Tic-Tac-Toe #154 Featured Designer Joanne Challenge (diagonal right to left- Die Cut, Free, Gold) and the My Time to Craft #478 “Lots of Layers- Minimum 3” Challenge. 

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you take the time to visit the Stamp Simply blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the above challenge sites- fabulous galleries from all!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of the gorgeous Patina designer paper from  Craft Consortium to approx. 4” x 5 1/4” and mount onto a piece of gold metallic cardstock, trim close to the edge and mount onto a piece of espresso cardstock.

Wrap a strip of 5/8” Teal Twill Ribbon over the background and wrap the ends behind the panel.

Adhere the background panel to a white card base.

Add a scrap strip of the gold metallic cardstock over the center of the twill ribbon.

De-static another piece of the Patina 6x6 paper with an embossing powder tool, stamp the book image from A Man of Knowledge Bundle with Versamark ink onto the prepared panel, apply gold embossing ink and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut with the coordinating die from A Man of Knowledge, also cutting another image from espresso cardstock (to layer behind the stamped image).

Repeat the above steps with white cardstock using the verse sentiment from A Man of Knowledge Bundle set.  Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the sentiment with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners Die.

Die cut another banner from espresso cardstock and layer behind the verse sentiment.

Add the banner sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam and mount the book image over the sentiment banner using a double layer of dimensional foam to finish off the card.

An update on my hubby- he is in a sub-acute rehab recovering from surgery for his primary brain tumor (a glioblastoma).  We are still waiting on the pathology report to determine the grade of the tumor and what the future holds.  

He is unable to speak more than an occasional "OK" but does seem to have retained most of his long-term memory, but has a very short attention span.  Also, his short term memory is basically non-existent.  He is getting a bit stronger physically each day but is still very weak compared to prior to his surgery.

Thank you, again for your prayers and well wishes- we are fully trusting in the Lord and know that He has the Perfect Plan for our lives!
