COF-Love and Ombre

  For the Crafters of Faith (COF) February challenge, we are pondering on 1 Corinthians 16:14 Do everything in love. Our instructions from hostess Barb state: This does not need to be a Valentine card, so you can make a card or a tag or anything else for any occasion, with Love!
   I got bitten by a technique challenge bug : )  I have not really tried an ombre card- that I can recall anyway..... so I combined the two challenges.

   I used Distress inks after embossing the background image with white embossing powder graduating lighter to darker inks. The heart uses the same inks and I turned it upside down so the darker ink on the heart is at the top.
 On the inside, I punched out hearts in the three shades of purple.

Stamps: Michael Strong Cloisonne Nesting Squares and Cloisonne Heart,
Inks- Distress inks Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord plus Versamark ink
Cardstock SU Concord Crush, White, Silver Metallic
White EP, SU hearts punch (retired), twine from Target
Die: Dee's Distinctively

 I made this for my husband- who is so much love!!!  We did not feel love at first sight,,,at all.,,,  Maybe that was God's plan, once we finally really got to know one another and gave the other a chance, it was - Love is in the Air : )   We have grown in love and faith as we have walked this journey- 30 years-celebrating in a couple of weeks.

Crafters of Faith is a group over at Splitcoast Stampers.  A faith walk by Kelly, our leader in the group. Each month we ponder on a scripture by a volunteer of the group and create with that as our motivation.
