Sun and Shield

Hi there blog friends.  Don’t forget to scroll down to the post I had on March 23rd with the Scor-Buddy blog candy and leave a comment.  It’s winding down and comments will be taken until noon this coming Saturday.  Hard to believe how fast this week went – it’s already Friday!?!  I’ve been working on a tutorial that I may have up this evening and I’m kinda excited about the new technique it covers.  I had to set it aside for a short while to work on this card but with luck I’ll get it finished and posted.  My card today uses the scripture stamp that I submitted for ODBD 3rd Anniversary from Scripture Set #6.

I pulled Spellbinders Fanciful Flight set with these enchanting little butterflies.  I cut them once from design paper and two times from vellum and added them as a 3D embellishment.   I mounted the butterflies on Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles LG and Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles SM and sentiments on Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles LG and Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles SM.  I just love the deckle edges and I just kick myself that I don’t use them more often because they are simply elegant and they look so nice when the edges are distressed. 

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Scripture Collection #6
Paper: DCWV, Bazzill, Vellum
Ink: Colorbox Pigment – Olive, Vintage Photo Distressed Ink
Accessories:
Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles LG, Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles SM, Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles LG, Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles SM, Ribbon, pearls

I’m so blessed that you stopped by.  I hope you are gearing up for a fabulous weekend!!

    I love your card! I really like the deckled rectangles and will have to get them. I agree with you that they work well on cards, especially when distressed as you have. The bow is gorgeous and the dainty butterflies set everything off so nicely. I am sure that the verse has given you much encouragement. It is good to know that we have such a loving and caring God!

    I couldn’t agree with you more Becca about the Deckeled edges. I used to have all sorts of sissors with decorative cuts. The only one I ever used was the deckeled ones. So that’s the only one I’ve kept. I use them often to cut out the sendiment for a card, then I can layer it as much or as little as I’d like. And I don’t have to worry aout the measurements. I just trim around it with my scissors. Thanks for sharing this beautiful card. I love the scripture especially.

    This is a “heavenly” card. The butterflies add such an elegant touch and as always love the sentiment you chose. Still thinking about what I wouldn’t want to be without in my crafting and my friends would probably tell you glitter and glue pen. One friend knows how often I use that glue pen, so she gifted me with 10 for Christmas. Wasn’t that thoughtful? Truly just a little glitter can add sooooo much.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, Well today I needed to make a bow and decided to bite the bullet and do it properly, so I copied your ribbon board. It took me a total of 10 minutes to make and to use it to tie my bow. I have RA and it is very difficult for me to tie pretty bows without five hands- hehe. Well, your hand made tool (bow assistant) worked smashingly!!!! Thank you very much for sharing it and your wonderful techniques! May Jesus continue to Bless Us with You!
