Light & Salvation

I so appreciate the stamps Art Impressions carries in their store that are Christian themed. Last spring,  5895 - Palm Sunday Set was released and I used that set for my card today. The image I chose represents Communion with bread and wine. I stamped it on a diamond shaped piece of cardstock. Ash Wednesday's alter cloths are purple and I wanted to mimic that by coloring the negative space in with purple Copic ink. Then I took gold and purple glitter pens to draw in the pattern. 

This card also fits the current challenge theme on the blog, CASE that card! The acronym means Copy And Share with Everyone. I CASE'd a card with a totally different theme created by Cassie Trask below. My card is a different twist but the feature of having a diamond shape span edge to edge in the same color as the card base is the same. I liked Cassie's use of shapes and the wide card mat around the edges as well. Below was her card which inspired my design.

Instead of stamping the background like Cassie did, I chose instead to use pieces of cardstock from 5892 - Easter S2 PP. I felt I needed more interest than a single pattern, so I layered a floral scrap piece from the same pack in the middle. Then I added skinny blue glitter washi tape strips to hide the raw edges. This change draws your eyes to the image in the diamond nicely. I added a sentiment from the 5069 - My Fortress Set and matted it on a rectangle I cut with a scalloped blade. I haven't done that for a while and it was nice to use it. Finally, I added three blue crystals in opposite corners of the card.  

Please visit our CASE that Card! Challenge Blog Post and link up your own card for the theme. You could win a free stamp set by playing along! I hope the CASE this Card! challenge will encourage you to look at ideas from other card makers and inspire you to make them your own. It's really fun!

Thanks so much for joining me here at the blog. As always, please visit the Ai Store for the products I used and all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Happy creating!
