Thanks Jen,this was a perfect challenge for what I had in mind for my Easter card. I've been waiting to use the rugged cross and damask paper from My Mind's Eye. I wanted the starkness of the cross to represent the sacrifice Jesus made for me and the verse from John 3:16 reminds me why.
The Stampa Rosa cross was stamped twice on GP white cs with Archival Ink sepia. I colored the top cross with Prisma color pencils and blended with mineral spirits. I off-set the cross to create dimension and popped on foam. I draped the cross with purple chenille fiber. My scripture (Paper Inspirations) is stamped on white cs and inked with chalk inks until I was happy with the color. I stamped the verse in Tim Holtz distress dusty concord. The edges were inked in various chalk inks to get the aged look. I tore and curled the ends with my fingers as I also did to the border purple paper.
I really thank you for leaving the gift of your comments!
