CTS358 Hope Is The Power

I think this is an easy sketch but I sat forever trying to decide what to do

 since I knew I wanted to use my new set called Power Of Hope 

along with the new embossing folder called Stone.

I think I got hung up on colors for a while but glad I decided for the 

black background and pops of Real Red.

I started with the white base and added the piece of Basic Black card stock

after I inked up the folder top with white craft ink and pressed it into

the card stock to give the stone look.

I then cut the Real Red strip and ran it through the Subtles embossing folder.

I cut the white scallop rectangle from Stitched So Sweetly dies.

I stamped the temple stamp from Power Of Hope in Memento Tuxedo Black

ink and colored with the Real Red and Ivory Stampin Blends markers.

I stamped the sentiment beside it in Real Red

 and added some red rhinestones to finish it off.

Love the way it turned out.

Hope you can play along over at casethissketch.blogspot.com
