Love the Lord Your God

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing cards to replenish their stash.  I am not sure if you have a stash of cards, but I like to keep cards on hand to mail out whenever there is a need, especially ones with Scripture on the front.

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

Fall is on the horizon here on the East Coast of the US, so I decided to pull out the Floral Cluster- Fall Flowers and Love stamp sets and paired them with a scrap piece of designer paper and scrap piece of lace, all from Stamp Simply!  

This card was fairly quick and easy to create:

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment from the Love stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Add the strip of Welcome Autumn designer paper and adhere a strip of the White 1 ½” Raschel Lace onto the edge of the designer paper.  FYI- I like how this lace has a satin embroidered center with the lace on both sides, perfect for finishing off the raw edge of the strip of designer paper.  

Mount the entire panel to a white card base.

Ink the sunflower cluster image from the Floral Cluster- Fall Flowers stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder (as in the step above for the sentiment).

Once the embossing has cooled, color the image with water-based markers.

Die cut the floral image with the coordinating die from the Floral Cluster and Sprigs die.  

Also cut two additional floral shapes from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image (FYI- this will make the floral image thicker almost like chipboard).  Adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.

Finish off the card with split pea rhinestones.

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges and am linking my card to the Word Art Wednesday #603-#604 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the Stamp Simply blog yet, I hope you will do so.  Fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Stamp Simply Design Team as well as inspiration at Word Art Wednesday.
