Love and John 3:16

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a one-layer, non-traditional, card with you I've made for my husband for Valentine's Day using one of Sweet N Sassy Stamps digital images and a long retired Stampin Up sayings set.   Using this image is very important for my husband's card since we met at my church's Valentine's dinner put on by the youth group.  My, now, hubby was my blind date set up by his best friend (the youth pastor at the time) and my mother (yup my mother).  We've been married for 33yrs now.

I started out by printing the John 3:16 Bible image on Neenah white card stock before coloring using my Castle Arts colored pencil set.  Once I was finished coloring, I stamped the "love" from Stampin Up's retired Wonderful Words set in memento tuxedo black ink.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz tattered rose distress ink using my paper pouncers before adding Stampin Up regal rose ink around the edges using my blending brushes.  After highlighting the lily stamen stems using a yellow Sakura Moonlight 3D gel pen, I decided the card was finished.
