This week's featured stamper is Lori, aka Stamp_momma, who is soooo talented. If you haven't checked out her gallery, what are you waiting for? I chose this gorgeous card because of the awesome verse and scene: Flower for a Friend by stamp_momma at Splitcoaststampers
I changed colors and stamp set, and added scallops and pearls. This set is 'He is Risen' from Our Daily Bread Designs....I think this cross of nails is so powerful and is one of my all time favorite stamps! The shadow was created by stamping the cross twice on scratch paper, the sash was drawn by hand and cut it out with an exacto knife. I sponged the sash in Almost Amethyst first on the main panel. The second cross was cut out with exacto k nife, placed over the sash(which is now masked with the cut out pieces), sponged the cross with Close to Cocoa. I cut a half circle mask to sponge the sky...used the other half of the mask to sponge the grassy hill. Then used fern stamp from watercolor minis (Thanks, Kittie!) and stamped blossoms in Vintage Violet. Added paper piercing, rounded the corners, popped up the cross with was embossed in copper, colored with sponges, and wrapped in embroidery floss. Thanks so much for looking! Have a blessed day!

How very beautiful and, yes, powerful. What a wonderful labour of love. Your colors and embossing as well as the shadow are all so effective and all those pearls are a stunning addition. I was just last night going over the incredible power and possession in this verse with a group of ladies I have the privilege of sharing with once a week. Isn't it wonderful how God can use us to touch others and confirm His Word. That's what viewing your card has done for me--touched and confirmed. TSMFS
