was based on this scripture:
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!
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): http://flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/
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 this card has no DP it also qualifies for the Charisma Cards Challenge: http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/

Linda, another piece of art that should be framed! You made this look like a fine oil painting! I am so impressed. I love Lazy Susan's, and yours are so life like. Beautiful work. LYMI
