I made this card yesterday for the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast. The challenge was to use something new. The Memory Box paper came in the mail a couple of days ago and the Clear Dollar Stamps Jesus Paid it All set was also new. The trees in the background were from CDS's Scenic Trees set and were stamped on the dp with Bordering Blue. The crosses were also stamped directly on the dp with Chocolate Chip and the oval frames were attached with dimensionals. The sentiment (from the Jesus Paid It All set), wood flourish, and ribbon finished it off.Recipe:
Stamps: CDS's Jesus Paid It All and Scenic Trees
Paper: White, Chocolate Chip, Prism Mystic Medium, Memory Box dp
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Bordering Blue
Accessories: Wood Flourish, Punches, Nestabilities, Ribbon
