This weeks Challenge is brought to us by Kristine. She has chosen:
Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
and she has challenged us to "mount up" parts of your image, aka. Paper Tole technique. This is not simply paper piecing an image, but rather restamping your image 2 or more times and cutting out parts of that image to pop it up and make it 3-dimensional.
I have used the Acanthus Leaves, stamping it directly onto the DP and chalkiing it. I then added light touches of Kindy Glitz - I LUV the shimmer with these images, just a little, not too much! The cross has also been coloured with Chalks and popped up on dimensionals in the centre of the leaves. The final layer of the crown has been stamped in red Distressing Ink, this is also popped up on dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the Cornish Heritage Farms set 'Glory to God!' and really declares the Easter message so clearly!! He is risen - He is risen indeed!!
I finished off with the Cuttlebug Vintage Corner Dies (Thanks Mum - you are the best!!) and some green bling, both on these and the crown!!
