Welcome to the Paper Crafts 75 Creative Card Challenges Blog Hop!
The participants of today's blog hop were challenged to come up with a card based on song lyrics. Eek! Truth be told I don't listen to a whole lot of music. With my 4 kids at home all day every day I tend to enjoy my peace and quiet when I can get it. ;) I had to think long and hard for this one and was in a little bit of a panic mode when it hit me that I had a stamp set from Verve with lyrics from my favourite hymn. *sigh of relief* Then the fun began. :)
Here's my card featuring lyrics from Great is Thy Faithfulness:
I inked up the Hero Arts Starburst stamp with distress inks, spritzed it with water and stamped it onto white cardstock. I heat set the image and then used the same colors with an ink blending tool to fill in the white space. I then spritzed the panel with Vanilla Shimmer Spray and heat set it again before stamping my sentiment. Finally I added the panel to my card base using foam adhesive.
Supplies:
I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with! If you're just joining us please start HERE. If you're hopping along in order your next stop is the fabulous Amber Kemp-Gerstel.
