Faith Is . . .

Hello sweet friends!  I hope you can handle one more layered card – this one was kind of done upon request.  These past weeks I’ve been layering two filigree card fronts in order to make easy layered card. Some of these dies you might have in your stash and have used them as card fronts before. Now by layering one curvy template over top of another, it creates a wispy frame with enough real estate to stamp a sentiment. Today the base frame that I hinged together is Swirling Grace and on top I added Marcheline Plume.  Keep scrolling today – it’s Tuesday so there’s more inspiration to follow from the Creative Team.

Pearls, flowers and a silk bow are a simple finish to a simple card.  :-)
