Prayers For You Card

If you stop by here frequently, then you know I do a lot of encouragement and sympathy cards through church ministry.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Exclusive Scrapbook.com stamp set, Prayers For You.  The stamp set, along with all the Scrapbook.com branded stamps, are discounted 30% off, right now.  This set includes some really wonderful scriptural sentiments and is perfect for reaching out and touching your friends and family through those difficult times in life.

Here's a close up that also shows embossing with the Sunny Studio Stamps Sunburst embossing folder.  I used an ink smooshing technique for my background with Catherine Pooler Ink.  Simply press your ink onto a craft mat, spritz with a water mister, then "smoosh" your watercolor paper into the ink mixture.  It works best if you use one ink color at a time and dry in between colors.

When finished drying I ran through my manual emboss machine with the Sunburst folder and used a nail file across the raised edges of the sun rays to distress it.  I decided to cut my entire inked, embossed image in half, for a split panel card.  Both pieces are layered with white Neenah Solar White cardstock and raised with foam circles by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  You'll find all the products listed below.

I was surprised to discover how large the word "prayer" is.  Four inches across.  I love the font and it's rather thick, so I decided to stamp my image and scan it into a cut file with Brother Crafts USA Scan N Cut machine.  I have the CM350 model.  I love that you can scan stamped images and cut them, over and over.  By saving my image as a cut file, I can then simply place black card stock in my machine and cut the word directly without having to continually stamp it.

As you can see in the picture below, I cut 3 of the words, then stacked and adhered each one to create a raised, dimensional word on my card.  The Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L petite runner was perfect for this job.

Lastly, I used my Nuvo Crystal Drops in Morning Dew to adhere my sequins.  These sparkly, clear sequins are from 28 Lilac Lane and are not yet in the shop, but you can click the link below to be notified when they're available.  It will be very soon!  I love them!

I also created a sweet scene for the inside of my card but forgot to snap a photo.  I'll be adding it to my highlights on Instagram later, if you'd like to pop over and check it out.
