  Rejoice in Him

When I cannot figure out how I am going to design a card, I turn to the SU catalog.  There are hundreds of samples in the catalog(s), and many cards to CASE.  

I copied this card and sketch from the 2023 Mini Catalog, page 54 and you can see the example Here. I changed it some to make it my own.  

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Soft Succulent, scored at 4 1/4.  
• The second layer is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Soft Sea Foam and embossed with the Painted Texture folder.
• The 5 x 2 1/8 piece of Evening Evergreen is the base for the 5 x 2 piece of Fancy Flora DSP.
• The next 3 5/8 x 2 1/4 Evening Evergreen rectangle is cut out with a Rectangle Stitched Die and is the base for the 3 3/8 x 2 piece of Shimmery White.  I stamped Jesus with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored Him with Pale Papaya & Sahara Sand inks and a Blender Pen.  I wrapped some Linen Thread around this piece before I adhered it to the card front.
• I stamped the leaves with Evening Evergreen ink on Basic White, cut them out with my handy-dandy scissors.  I then colored the inside of the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink and a Blender Pen.
• The words are stamped on a piece of Soft Sea Foam with black ink and cut out with a Something Fancy Die. I added it to the card with dimensionals.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
