The Cross

I was inspired by this week's art from Word Art Wednesday. The verse really hits home with me right now, to be more of Christ and less of the world. I was also inspired by the colors in the photo at Inspired By. The sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Click on the  photo if you can't read the verse. I used Florentine paper, and a faux stitching technique around the edge of the Twilight layer.


Materials used:
Cardstock: Chocolate, Colonial White, Twilight
B&Ts: Florentine
Stamps: He is Risen, word art from WAW (not CTMH)
Ink: Chocolate
Other: Basic Brads Assortment, Spring Blossom Just Blooms

Cardstock: Cranberry, Colonial White
B&Ts: Pear & Partridge
Stamps: Glory to God

Crazy4Challenges had a crazy challenge this week: a sketch, color, AND theme! Here is the challenge photo:



Here is my card:

I altered the sketch just a little, but you can still tell. I made the background panel above and below the circle instead of right behind it. I really like how this turned out. CTMH doesn't have colors like this, even though they're kind of trendy. I used some old cardstock that I had from my days before CTMH. I like this combo.

Materials used:
Cardstock: Colonial White, scraps from my stash (not CTMH)
Stamps: Precious Love
Ink: Black, VersaMark
Other: Gold Embossing Powder

So here it is, a little late.

Late again!

I started making this card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday, but my vellum got caught in the printer. It took me 4 days to figure out how to get it out! That's why this card is so late! I'm using the colors from ColourQ and the image from A Day for Daisies.

Materials used:
Cardstock: Black
B&Ts: Hooligans
Stamps: ADFD digi image
Other: Purple gems, vellum (not CTMH)
