I have always enjoyed combinging my faith and cardmaking, infact they are my favourite card to make. I have a 'Faith Art' Gallery over at Layers of Color and try to add to it weekly: http://www.layersofcolor.com/
This week I was having a number of 'flat days' and was feeling like nothing much was coming together when my DH advised me to go back to my beginnings and what I loved - so a faith based VINTAGE card soon took to back to card making with ideas flowing through my head at an alarming rate!
I used the Gothic Crosses set and Royal Birds, chalking them both, sponging lightly with Distressing Ink and adding Kindy Glitz lightly to the wings of the dove.
This has been popped up on Dimensionals and attached to the left hand side of that fabulous scripture from Kathy (aka Wattle on SCS), which has been sponged around the edges and layered onto black CS. Crochet lace fom Maxine (aka Kiwime on SCS) is attached under the lower edge of the sentiment! This is all adhere to a Scalloped Oval Nestie, which has had a light spray with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.
The DP has been emossed through the Cuttlebug and the edges sponged around with Distressing Ink and layered onto Black CS, leaving only a very fine border of black. I stamped an image onto the Photo Corners and have decided I really like that look, it adds so much to the corners! I also did some very light gold highlights with a Glitter Pen.
Isn't it amazing what creating something can do for you - I felt so much better after making this card and taking onboard the truth in this scripture! This passion of ours does wonders for one's heart - on so many levels!
