All images are Our Daily Bread designsand are a new June release. This is one of those that turned out way different than I envisioned. It also looks much better in person. I always forget how hard it is to get a good picture when using metallic card stock and metallic embossing.
I had this idea of using the scripture to form a cross and I wanted to put some fancy die cut or punched shape behind it. Nothing really looked the way I wanted, so I opted to just cut some graduated sizes of circles/rings in three different colors of metallic card stock. I added a somewhat fancy die cut at the base of the cross. The cross itself was formed by first embossing the entire passage using a combination of silver and gold powders. I stamped the first part only on either side then used my Spellbinders long rectangles to cut away each side, one at a time, to form the cross.
The ivory background was embossed and it and the cross were edged with a gold Krylon pen.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
