I am so excited to be abe to share my first Sneak Peek at the Layers of Color New Releases. I have used the Layers of Color: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
set Merci Bouquet to create this card. It is stamped off onto this fabulous scripture from Our Daily Bread Designs (which is part if a RAK from Kathy aka Wattle). I love this technique as it adds such a pretty touch. I used distressing ink and then added some light color with chalks. It created the soft feel I wanted for this card.
This was then layered onto scalloped square and then CS embossed with the Stylised Flowers embossing folder, which has been sponged around with distressing ink - we all know how I LOVE to sponge - can't resist it and LOVE the look it gives!! I have also added some lace and ribbon behind the image and added a silver heart embellishment. It is fitting that it has the word 'LOVE' on it as that captures the heart of God in all of His Word!
I am delighted that this card fits with the Stamping Sisters in Christ Challenge this week: http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/
where the inspiration is: Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (NIV)
We are to create something about when God is "unseen"; i.e., a scrapbook layout that reminds you that God is always with you; a card to encourage a friend and remind them that God is with them; or perhaps something to hang on your wall as a reminder. How perfect is this scripture!!
Thank you for loooking and for your encouraging comments. You can find me and more about the new releases and freebies for you on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com
