I love circles and the new Wednesday Sketch challenge (SC190) has a circle smack dab in the middle!! Well, I got busy playing around to see what I could come up with. Yesterday I played around with gold foil and velvet so today I turned my attention to silver! Here is the sketch.
It’s difficult photographing the foil paper so have a peek at the picture below, it’s taken laying flat and the colors are truer. Okay, now on to the card…basically I cut a circle with my nesties then stamped the circle with Stazon and embossed with the Leafy Branch Cuttlebug Embossing folder. I added layers, pearls, ribbon and an embossed element to balance the card. The final touch was to hang a little cross from a jewelry spacer element I dug out of my beading supplies - it is attached with a silver brad! How easy was that! This card uses a sentiment from the newly released Angel set from Our Daily Bread Designs. I am loving the versatility of all the new sets and the verse choices were excellent; they will get a lot of mileage in my stash.
Supplies:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper: Marcella K Design Paper, Fabriano Acquarello Watercolor Paper, Silver Foil Paper
Ink: Stazon Black, Versamark
Accessories: Cuttlebug Leafy Branch Embossing Folder, Nestabilities, White Embossing Powder, Half Pearls, Spacer, Brad, Cross
Alright, back to stamping for me…thanks for stopping by!

Just beautiful! What a great start to my day. Thank you for sharing your talent and gift.
Awesome card. Where did you find the foil paper?
Dear Becca, I am always amazed at your creativity. What a wonderful scripture to start the day with. Your work is exquisite.
Good evening, Becca. Your choice of colours is beautiful. I love working with foil card - we call it Mirri card” over here and I have it in many colours. The gold and silver are particularly stunning as is shown in your card and they emboss particularly well with the cuttlebug. I love your choice of scripture too. All in all a very beautiful, meaningful and elegant card. Thank you for sharing.
This is so elegant and very beautiful with the embossed foil. Your designs are truly inspiring.
