Today's card was inspired by similar cards I've seen recently in magazines and on blogs that use a popped matte over a stamped image. In particular, check out this sweet card by Maile Belles.
For my card, I used the Creative Memories oval cutting system to cut a matte in PTI's white cardstock. To position the cross properly, I lay the matte flat on the card and stamped the cross in black. After stamping the sentiment on the matte, I popped it on the card, and then finished the card by adding brilliant blue gemstones to the cross (they look a bit darker in the photo...sorry about that).
Have a blessed Sunday!
Susan this is beautiful! LOVE the oval! I have SUs Say It With Scriptures and you have inspired me to get them out and make some cards...I recently went to a book signing and met Charles Stanley who is one of my favorite Bible Teachers...He was a sweetheart...Thanks for sharing your creations! Girl your followers list is GROWING!
ReplyDeleteSo who needs a die cutting machine? You have your oval cutter and lots of punches! This is truly stunning!
ReplyDeletePerfectly elegant! One would be honoured to receive such a lovely card. I don't own that stamp set, but I may have to reconsider ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Susan!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you cut the oval to show the cross. This is simple but so elegant and so befitting the image and sentiment.
