Hey everyone! I'm part of a fun Neat & Tangled hop today highlighting a couple of last month's releases: Photo Booth and one of my new sets, Sunday School Songs. You should have come here from Julie Ebersole's blog, and the hop starts at the Neat and Tangled blog.
I'm featuring Sunday School Songs and I created a couple cards to share today.
First up a very clean and simple card. I love the sunburst pattern on this paper and wanted to make that a focal point.
I stamped the song lyrics and then randomly stamped the sequin from Photo Booth to give the illusion of movement away from the center of the burst. Some gold sequins were added for some extra shine and contrast.
The sunburst paper was adhered to a panel of white cardstock so you can see the cardstock just on the one side and then popped up, I added a strip of black patterned paper on the edge for some good contrast.
My second card is very different in look and feel, but still pretty easy to put together. I love this sweet chipboard piece that my friend Wida sent me and had been saving it for a special project.
I used that for the focal point and stamped the sentiment beneath it. You could always just color in the Jesus Saves part, but I like the extra texture/dimension you get from piecing so those were pieced with some patterned paper scraps.
The trim at the bottom is actually altered. I loved the look of the white portions on the top and bottom, but it's actually a yellow pattern in the center. What to do? Cut a very thin piece of cardstock and adhere it right over top.
OK, for the hop details: Danielle is picking two random winners from all the stops to win their choice of Photo Booth or Sunday School Songs, and of course I had to get in on the prize action, so I'll be picking an extra winner from my blog to win a Sunday School Songs set. Comments close July 4th, and winners will be announced Saturday, July 5th.
That's all for me today. Your next stop on the hop is my good friend Jocelyn Olson. Happy Hopping!!!
