Rejoice and Be Glad

From the moment I saw this week's sketch at Midnight Madness, this idea has been swirling around in my head. I knew I was going to use these Spellbinders leaves with this beautiful Our Daily Bread designs image but I didn't necessarily want it to be a sympathy card either. So this card shows once again how versatile these stamp sets can be. I only used a portion of the sentiment that comes with this set called With Deepest Sympathy. The beautiful colors of fall gives us another reason to Rejoice and Be Glad!!!! I embossed the Chocolate Chip layer with a Spellbinders leaf and then cut, embossed and sponged the other leaves. I stamped the image and masked the sentiment and then cut out all the Spellbinders layers. I sprayed all of those things with Gold Glimmer Mist! Wow I just love that stuff! However, I should have sprayed the background and let it dry before embossing because the pretty, deep impression sort of disappeared! Anyway, I distressed the edges of the background layers with a distressing tool, added the Olive ribbon and then put all the pieces together. The pretty gold rhinestone was the last thing to embellish this card. Thanks to the team at Midnight Madness for another great sketch to work with. And thanks to all of you for visiting! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
