I Chronicles 16:34 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” (NIV)
We were asked to make a card reflecting this. I have used the Black Magic technique that was demonstrated at my SU Workshop a couple of months ago by my SU Demo and friend Ann.
Infact Ann started colouring this image to demonstrate and I finished it off - so Ann, things might sit on my desk for a while, but eventually they become cards! LOL!
The image is stamped with White Craft Ink onto darker CS and when dry, coloured with watercolour pencils - it is so effective and so easy!! The results can range form soft and subtle to bold and bright - dramatic!! I then added a punched border with the Fiskar 'Sunburst' punch - all edges have been sponged (of course!) and I have added torn and sponged corners! The border punch qualifies it for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge which is hosted by one of my fellow Australian stamping friends this week - Kathy (aka Wattle)
The final touch is the sentiment being embossed in copper embossing powder! This is one of my favourite sentiment sets 'Wonderful Words' by SU...love it! As there is no DP this card also qualifies for the Charisma Cardz Challenge.
Thank you for stopping by and for the encouraging comments you leave me - you know I love knowing when you have been. It is Saturday evening here and has been a beautiful day with rain just setting in - perfect! I hope your weekend is relaxed and fun! God bless you!
Hi Linda a truly stunning card!!
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to stop on by.
Well it is Saturday morning here in Scotland and my weekend is just starting,light drizzle but you can smell Autumn in the air,the leaves on the trees have changed to a rainbow of warm autumn colours and when it is dry here...great fun to walk like a child and shuffle through all the ones that have fallen.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Linda.
