Hello and welcome. I needed to make a few sympathy cards so I pulled out the
Stained Glass Beauty images I had printed off from
Gecko Galz, trimmed off the angel and layered it on scrap black card stock before adding some black brads. I then dug out some
True Faith© 12x12 designer paper I bought a LONG TIME ago and pulled out the golden cross background, trimmed down to size and adhered it to a black card. I then took my memento tuxedo black "cat eye" ink pad and added some of the ink around the edges of the card so it bled over a bit. Taking the layered angel image, I adhered it at an angle using glue dots before stamping the verse from Matthew 5:4 "
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted" in black ink on a white scrap of card stock. After that was layered, and brads added, I adhered that also at an angle using glue dots. The final touch was three small black flowers I punched from scrap card stock using my Martha Stewart hydrangea punch with some tiny black
Crafty Meraki midnight bling added to the centers. I'm really happy with how this turned out.
