Good morning and welcome to a new bi-weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday!
Today we have a beautiful scripture from the New Testament, specifically 2 Corinthians. And this one is perfect for your patriotic cards! I love this time of year. Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of July are some of my favorites. I love seeing the red, white and blue bunting and Old Glory waving in the breeze. This scripture is just perfect for those sentiments... I chose some lovely patriotic paper and went to work...
I used a white card stock base (4.25 x 5.5) for my foundation, cutting a red layer of 4.25 and 5.5 inches, a slightly smaller white matting and finally a top layer of blue CS. I chose a couple of coordinating designer papers from the Americana collection by Pebbles and cut out a center piece using Our Daily Bread Designs' Double Stitched Rectangles Die. I cut two in two separate patterns and then split the difference. I printed my scripture panel on white card stock and used another die from Our Daily Bread Designs, (Double Stitched Circles) to cut it out. I added a flag DP strip before adding the sentiment panel with dimensional foam. For my floral spray, I chose a white mulberry rose, 2 red roses and a couple of pale blue blossoms. I used a couple of Martha Stewart punches from my stash to create two colors of green leaves and kraft twigs. I placed them all together in the corner to mimic a spray...
So fun, don't you think?
Thanks as always for stopping by and don't forget to visit Word Art Wednesday for your own copy of the digital scripture and the link to play along!
