Hi there!
I made this easel card using a few different techniques I wanted to try out.
This is the card closed up.
The card itself is made using the Labels Twenty Dies to create the card base. Angie Crockett did a tutorial on ODBD's Blog in January showing how to make shaped cards from Spellbinder's Dies. You can find her tutorial here.
I also added a second purple Labels Twenty Die card to the back so that purple would show on the bottom and top of the card and enabled me to turn it into an easel card. I just used the basic easel card instructions you can find on Split Coast Stampers' Resource Section here.
The mat on the front of the card, was done using the Faux Silk Technique where you use patterned tissue paper to create it. I bought this tissure paper at a $1 store, and had adhesive paper sheets I bought from Papertrey Ink that worked perfectly for this. Angie also did a tutorial on ODBD's Blog for this technique a few weeks ago that you can find here. It's a fun and easy to do.
The cross is made using the Crosses Two Dies from Spellbinders that I recently bought. I loved the look of them matted together using 4 of the dies, and wanted to use them on a card.
Here's a close-up of the cross and the tissure paper mat.
The Bible Verse I used is from the Scripture Collection 8 Stamp Set from ODBD. This particular Verse, Psalm 119:165, is the one I chose to contribute to the collection this year...so exciting Kelley at ODBD allowed us to do this!!!
I'm submitting this to the latest Word Art Wednesday Challenge #24 that you can find here.
For ingredients used:
Stamp: Scripture Collection 8 (ODBD)
Paper: Lavender Lace (SU), Solar White (Neenah), adhesive paper (Papertry Ink)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Accessories: Tissue paper ($1 store), Crosses Two, Moroccan Accents, Labels Twenty (Spellbinders Dies), adhesive pearls (Want-2-Scrap), stylus, flower (Recollections), lace (Really Reasonable Ribbon)
That's is for today!
Blessings!

Kathy, your card is beyond stunning. It's an absolute work of art. So so beautiful. There are so many details and elements on this card, one could keep studying it for a long time. I really like the scripture you mentioned above, Philippians 4:4-7 such true words from our Lord. Thanks so much for linking this to Scripture Thursday. ~ Abby
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking is all I can say. I saw this over at Little Birdie Blessings and had to stop by. Just beautiful design, colors and embellishments.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kathy, thank you for the links. I have never tried the Faux silk technique...It's on my do do list. Thank you for the nice comment on my ODBD card. It's the first challenge that I have entered there. Now that I finally have some ODBD stamps, I can try and enter some of the challenges. Hope you have a great weekend, Many Blessings to you, Jill
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Gorgeous details. Great verse to share in Philippians, I have it on my mirror to read daily. Nothing like the peace of God that comes from the God of peace! He gave me that verse when my younger brother passed away years ago and it's been close to my heart ever since. God bless!
ReplyDeleteKathy: This is truly beautiful and inspiring. I know Abby enjoys having you share your beautiful scripture art on her blog, and I would also love to have you share it with us at Word Art Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great week, and hope to see you soon!
Blessings,
