Thanks for another amazing Inspiration Challenge, Stef!!! The Fitz and Floyd catalog had sooo many awesome pieces to choose from! I chose this cross to help celebrate Our Daily Bread Design's Anniversary Week. I combined ODBD 'May God Hold You' with SU's 'True Friend' for my card....sort of an 'Ireland meets The Old West' theme!!! The bottom layer of the cross was embossed with Golden Sand ep, the top layers were embossed with Copper ep, colored with Really Rust and Close to Cocoa. Clear gems were added to match the IC piece. Finished with stamped twill, paper piercing and a few more gems. Thanks for looking! Have a blessed day!

Ever so gorgeous, Angella! Love the mix of the images and papers. The metallic elements look great, as does the stamped twill. Awesome job on the inspiration challenge!
