Hello!!! I received a beautiful calendar for Christmas. The artist that did all the pictures for the calendar is Jane Shasky. The calendar came in a large, heavy envelope with a picture on it that coordinated with the images in the calendar. The envelope also had just a bit of a canvas texture to it. Instead of just throwing it away I decided to make a couple of card. This is the first one. I picked an area and die cut a large rectangle (Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles) from it. I then die cut another rectangle from the first rectangle using one size smaller cutting die. I edged both rectangles with Distress Paint Tarnished Brass. The largest is attached to a folded white card. On the smaller rectangle I stamped an A Way With Words Clear Stamp (Elizabeth Craft Designs by designer Suzanne Cannon) image from the A Bit of Fragrance Collection onto the panel with Archival Ink Jet Black. I did this using the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform and was very glad that I did!! Since there is some texture I needed to stamp it a few times to get a good image without pressing so hard that it squished the letters. I wrapped this panel with some glitzy gold fiber and then attached it to the card with foam mounting tape.
On the inside I added a sentiment based on Lamentations 3:23. I printed it with my laser printer and then, using a laminator, foiled the verse with Deco Foil Red. I tore the paper using a ruler. I added a mat torn from cardstock and painted with Distress Paint Tarnished Brass.
God's love for us is without end and I am so thankful that His mercies are new every morning!!
I tried to capture the shine of the red foil.....
