Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. MMSC19

 
I am not always one to do this style of card but I saw this stamp and I fell in love with it.  Then the absolute worse thing happened...  I keep singing this over and over while I was making this card and I can't carry a tune, it was a good thing my family was not home at the time, but I sure had fun!


Most of the card is paper pieced with the exception on the verse:  upscale trims, leaves,  flowers, dew drops and gold doilies grace this card.  The inside was also done up complete with a custom envelope.  In this case, I used the archway from a window to use as my main focal point giving the verse extra attention in the center stamped and then embossed in gold and that I added another layer of the archway onto the left hand side.


Anyways this is my weekly Midnight Madness Sketch card using this stamp from our Sponsor, D-R-S Designs, they are offering a $50.00 gift certificate. They will be sponsoring Midnight Madness all month and so you will be able to see even more great cards from the Design Team featuring stamps from D-R-S Designs.

  2. Maybe not your usual style, but surely a very beautiful card. I love the archway window, and the flowers are just so soft and pretty and a wonderful color combo to coordinate with the card. I love to see you out of your comfort zone. It is always a pleasing result.
