SSIC Beyond Measure

Weekends are wonderful - don't you think!?  We have had a lovely sunny one, which is a blessing after all the rain and flooding we have experienced....I could not resist getting out in the garden to photograph my card for this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge.

Our hostess this week is the beautiful Miesje who has chosen:

“You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.”

 Ephesians 5: 8-9

Miesje has challenged us to create a card or project that uses both dark and light. Opposite colors; black/white, brown/ivory, deep blue/baby blue, red/pink etc.

In keeping with this weeks challenge, I decided to not to sponge but to go 'crisp' keeping the contrast to the maximum - it was not easy can tell you, my hand kept wandering towards those daubers and inks...but...no, I managed to resist - the only thing distressed at the end of this cardmaking session was me! LOL!  The gorgeous ribbon is from my friend Ann - I love the flocking on it - so plush and elegant with the touch of silver. The Dp is from DCWV - La Creme Stack

My sentiment is from the Layers of Color Sweet Silhouettes clear art stamp set illustrated by Nina Brackett.  It has been stamped onto the Spellbinders Labels Sixteen Die and layered into the Spellbinders Parisian Motifs Die with foam tape between each layer. I have used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur to cut my Dies.
