His Splendor
I hadn't posted this card yet and it turns out to be perfect for the challenge over at Stamping Sisters in Christ Challeng blog. The challenge (#7) is, "to show the "earth rejoicing"... flowers blooming, oceans roaring, trees bursting with fruit, mountains and hills 'clapping'... whatever comes to mind for you as long as your card or project shows the earth rejoicing." This verse, one of the new releases from Heart & Soul Rubber Stamp Co., fits the theme perfectly. Cool. (Hey, I just noticed that Sue has posted the new catalog pages - some cute stuff there! If you appreciate inspirational and encouraging sentiments and verses, you have got to take a look through the online catalog......'nuff said.)
The day lilies are also from H&S - I colored them with Prismacolor pencils and markers. I embossed the corners of the panel by hand, using the tool from my Scor-Pal and a Fiskars texture plate - just to add some interest in the empty spaces. I lightly rubbed an ink pad over the raised areas - I should have used a chalk pad...maybe next time! Sort of reminded me of those embossed tin hangings...do you know what I'm talking about? The charm is one I bought in bulk (maybe 60 in a pack?) from a wholesaler in Hong Kong who offers free international shipping.
That's all I know!
You continue to amaze me! I love that verse, just a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!!
ReplyDeleteDina, this is stunning! You are such an artist. I love how you made the flowers dip into the oval. The sentiment is perfect as well as well as the lilies.
ReplyDeleteI think it is perfect just the way it is. No need to chalk it next time. Thanks for playing along with us at SSCC. Have a great weekend.
