Stampin with Shirley G

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream stamp set, Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper, a die from Nested Friends Dies, Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and Timbers Embossing Folder. 

I am entering the Card Concept Challenge.  I was inspired by the cross on the mantle, the brick of the fireplace, and the wreath, the neutral colors for my clean and layered card.  I believe that the cross with the bird nest for a crown is from a card that Darryl Robbins, in our group created, , I could not find the card again, .  All I can remember is the bird nest for the crown.  I can see the cross hanging on the brick fireplace with the wreath behind it, that is what the green panel represents to me.

I am also entering the Word Art Wednesday Challenge.

I started with a card base of Evening Evergreen card stock.  I embossed a panel of Basic White card stock using the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder that I spread Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink (soon retiring)  over the embossing folder then embossed.  I adhered the embossed panel to the Evening Evergreen card stock card base leaving a tiny border around the embossed panel.

I cut two pieces of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper from two different patterns and matted on Evening Evergreen card stock.  I adhered one over the other on the card front, I think it makes a nice background for the cross.  I had tried the cross on the brick only at the beginning but it just did not look right so I decided to add layers that would enhance the beauty of the cross.

I cut two strips of Early Espresso card stock trimmed the top of the long piece and both ends of the shorter one, I then embossed using the Timbers 3D Embossing Folder adhered the two pieces together to form the cross.  I die cut the bird nest from Nested Friends Dies and then over the cross with a Glue Dot and adhered the cross over the Fancy Flora pieces.   I added two little crosses, one of each side of the main cross. I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card base,  I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a piece of Basic White card stock, die cutting the piece using a die Stylish Shapes Dies.  I trimmed each end of the piece, matted on a piece of Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered to the inside panel.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap. The brown flower on the envelope flap makes me think of a crown of thorns.
