I made this card with an idea that has been rolling around, in my head, for a long time. It all started with the bracket die from the Cuttlebug. While playing aound with them, I found that put back to back, they form a "cross". Because I have a tendency to wait for a card to come together, in my head, before using those ideas, it can take me a while to complete a card, just by gathering ideas and playing around with it all. And this card was no different
I used one of the fancy label dies from Spellbinders to cover the "cross" but to still make it stand out. I am still inspired by Becca Feeken's Banner idea, and wanted to incorporate a sentiment somewhere on my card. But because I have a cross cut from a die that is open and "lacey" it is impossible to keep it together and to let it stand alone with out some support of some kind. So I decided to add popdots under the cross to elevate it up so you could see it better, off of the paper, and added a fancy Nestie tag over it with my stamped sentiment. I don't have any Bible verse stamps yet, other then this one, but I really think it fits! So I'll be saving my money for some more verse stamps!
The cardstock is a light gray-seafoam green, with a cream cardstock on top. The scalloped border is from EK Sucess called "Dotted Scallop". I bought it yesterday, for this card. I thought it needed this little lacey piece, and I like how it looks. I added some pearls to finish it all off and give it an elegant feel to it all.
I really, really enjoyed making this card and I love how it turned out!!
