Faith & Sympathy

The latest release at Frantic Stamper covered Faith & Sympathy. I readily admit I have a difficult time with this style of card, but I did my best to showcase how very pretty the dies are. I especially love this Calla Lily Stained Glass. I did a separate panel using 40lb vellum for my stained glass, colouring with Spectrum Noir Markers. I added a large Calla Lily along the bottom along with the Love sentiment, and a few butterflies on the inside.

As it turned out a customer needed a sympathy card and she picked this card. The paper is beautiful, having a textured sheen, and it complimented the Calla Lily die beautifully. I used the Prayers die in both the negative and positive and added a few pearls to finish. 

Using the Open Book die I made this simple bookmark. I Printed "My Spot" on cardstock, cut and embossed using my Cuttlebug Script Embossing Folder for my background, sponging the edges with Crushed Olive and adding olive cardstock matting. I added the fringe embroidered lace edge and twine. I added some pages to the book with light vellum. The book is a published book on my family history called Scriver etc. and Dit Clapper was my Grandad's brother - it seemed only fitting to use the bookmark on this page.

I treated the book die as a Bible for this card tucking the small Calla Lily Die along the centre, and using the Faith sentiment along with a couple of pearls. I wondered about this, but another customer loved it, and away it went. 

And finally I did this card doing a very different background for the Calla Lily and the love sentiment. I did the background using Bisters and die cut the Love from foam. On the inside I did the same background and have "You" inside. I really like this, probably because it is very different.
