Five Crosses

Good Sunday morning to all.  I thought it was an appropriate day to show a card that I made several months ago but never posted at the time.  It is all done with milk coloured card and Antique Linen distress ink for a bit of highlighting.  Unfortunately we all need to make a sympathy card at one time or another.  These gorgeous crosses work perfect for sympathy, Easter, communion or even wedding cards so they can be very versatile.  I started with the background and embossed it with the Enchanted embossibility folder.  This is a large card so I did have to extend the background a bit. Next I cut out the aperture using the largest size of Labels 24, but I didn't stop there. I needed the opening to be larger, so I lined up the edge points and cut another section, giving me a rather large opening. I inked the edges of it with Antique linen distress ink.  I stamped my sentiment in the lower corner in black and embossed it.   Foam pieces were placed on the back of my aperture piece to raise it for dimension.  Next I cut all the crosses in the Crosses Two set, and cut two of the large ornate one.  For the very ornate cross on the right, I cut away all the arms leaving just the ornate centre piece which I mounted atop the original cross.  I mounted all five of the crosses in the aperture opening.  I tied a bow of chalk white American seam binding and added two pearl stick pins and a Dazzler to it.  I added a pearl swirl across the bottom of the card, flatback pearls to the cross centres and pierced the edges to finish it off.
