a2z Scrapbooking - Prayers

Hello everyone!

I am here with a2z Scrapbooking to share with you another card.  This month's challenge is "Sentiment Focus".  If you would like to join in on the fun, you can link your project up here.  All you have to do is use at least one Hero Arts product on your project.

Here is my card, I am using the Hero Arts Prayers Stamp and Cut set.  The Prayers is my sentiment focus.



Here is how I put my card together:

1.  My card is an A2 card,
2.  I die cut two rectangle layers, 1 in black and 1 in white with the Hero Arts Rectangle Infinity dies,
3.  I used the Hero Arts Spiral Petals Stencil for my background, I used the Hero Arts Bold Ink Indigo to stencil,

 4.  I then die cut the "prayers" out with black cardstock and then die cut the "prayers" out again with black foam, I adhered these two pieces together with liquid glue,

5.  I positioned the die cut "prayers" where I wanted it on my card and stamped the sentiments using Hero Arts Intense Black ink,
6.  I finished my card with some Hero Arts Ombre Ocean Sequins.

Closer look of the foam I used on the "prayer" to give the word more dimension.

CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGES #13 - WREATH

Hello everyone!

I am here with the Christmas Card Challenges and we have a new challenge which is a word prompt "Wreath".   I hope you will join in on the challenge.  

Here is my take on the card.  My card is clean and simple, but I love how it turned out.  I die cut the wreath from Penny Black Whirl Wreath and the sentiment is a Penny Black die to from Happy Holidays.  I embossed my background and adhered it to the red foil paper and added it to my A2 card.  I adhered my die cut pieces on my card and added some dot sparkler stickers for the berries.  

I hope I have inspired you to get your stamps or dies out to join in on the challenge. You will have two weeks to complete your project. Check out the Christmas Card Challenges blog for more inspiration and to link your project.

Thanks for stopping by, please come back again soon!
