Hi girls. thank you for coming to visit today. I really appreciate your interest in my blog and I can only hope you enjoy your visit. I will not be around for most of the day today. I will be going to Carlisle to attend the funeral of a family friend my husband and I have known for nearly 50 years. He was a devout Christian and after a long illness his passing is a happy release.I made today's card to send to his widow but decided to enter it into the Secret Crafters challenge since none of the family are likely to see it here. I have not shown the inside of the card because of the personal nature of the content. This card is similar to one that I did at a Stampaholics class a few weeks back. The idea and inspiration are not mine - they are Siobhan's, the owner of Stampaholics, whose creative talent never ceases to amaze me.
The stamp of the Bible is from an Inkadinkado set I bought after the class. The papers are Graphic 45 - Baby and Bride Collection -"Love is Blue" and the image is stamped on to a brushed silk paper. I have used different shades of green Bazzil for mounting and the punched border. I have used Nesties and Martha Stewart punches and a small retro flower punch. I have also used green seed pearls for embellishment.
I would love to hear your opinions on this card so if you have time to leave a comment for me it would be really greatly appreciated. I hope you have a happy and productive day.
Hugs,
