This weeks Twisted Sister Challenge was to make a card with Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, ribbon, a scripture and use SC116.....having the scripture also qualifies it for the Bible Verse Challenge!
As I did not have the exact colours I used as close as I could...I sponged around ALL the edges with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink - frayed burlap. I love the effect sponging has, it is definitely a favourite technique...one panel is embossed with the CB - Textured Textiles and then I have sponged over that to add more depth, embossing adds so much texture and elegance to a card - it is another technique I love! I stretched the boundaries, just a little and used string rather than ribbon...I had to use eyelets to run it through (oops) and also added matching brads at the corners of the scripture...I couldn't help myself, it just needed them...what's a girl to do!?!
For a final touch I added torn sponged corners, just so you would know I haven't forgotten about them! LOL!! I am happy with the finished card and have enjoyed going back into the sketches to do older ones - I might have to have a little 'wander' over that way again!!! Also, the scripture is computer generated.

This My Darling Lovely Linda is beautiful! I love how you Cuttled just a piece of the BG and then enhanced it with the sponged corners! Beautiful piece Sistah.

Great card. Like the Bible verse! The sponging effect looks good! At first I thought the strips of brown were pieces of leather. It just had that look about it. You fooled me! Smile. I like how you positioned the striped paper with the solid above it. Nicely done! TFS
