I have two projects to show you today. The first is a card I created that could easily be used as a Sympathy or First Holy Communion card. Instead of using the die to cut, I decided to emboss it onto white cardstock. I went for a monochromatic look and mounted the focal panel onto Soft Stone cardstock from PTI. I also die cut the flowers from a combination of white and Soft Stone cardstock.

The center cross is also cut from Soft Stone and if you notice a little shimmer, it's because I sponged some Inka Gold - Silver onto the flowers and the cross, as well as the embossed panel. I then added adhesive pearls to the center of the cross and to the centers of the flowers.
My second project is an altered acrylic frame. For this project, I stamped and colored the gorgeous cross from the Cross and Lilies stamp set and then used a nestabilities oval to cut it out. For the background, I used a brayer to ink up the inside of an embossing folder to create that two-toned embossed look. This would also be perfect for a Communion, Confirmation or Wedding photo and yes, that adorable little princess is my daughter.

What lovely creations. I thought it was a stroke of genius to use the die as an embossed image. That is so clever and beautifully done.
