I immediately knew that I would use Vicky's card as my inspiration! Here's her card:
I LOVED the bright red color background and the center panel. So simple yet elegant...LOVED it!
So, here's my take on it.
I used Fired brick and barn door Distress inks for the background. Then I used the Tim Holtz ruler to add the piercing around the edges of the card. I used the Spellbinders Label 8 (I think?) for the center panel. I sponged a bit of Vintage Photo distress in the center of the label and then stamped the praying hands. I wish I knew what company made the stamp but I found this stamp years ago in the Dollar Store! One of my favorite stamps! I adhered some ribbon w/some pearls and the center panel was done. Then I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts--and yes, it's crooked! That's what happens when you're trying to stamp and have 2 boys showing you their latest Lego creations! Oh well...Still like the card...
If you haven't played along in the challenge, it's fun!
Thanks for stopping by!
A lovely take on Vicky's card! Thanks so much for playing with us at Lily Pad Cards!
