An Easter "Valentine"

Hello again everyone!

When I sat down to make this week's project I did not set out to make a Valentine, but I would indeed call this an Easter Valentine.  It all started with this interesting "corner fold" and the desire to use some of our thinner bronze metallic card stock to implement it.  One thing led to another and here we are!  

This is another one of those folds that is impressive in appearance but quite simple to achieve.  Gotta love that!  Here is a link to the tutorial that I found for this fun fold.

Of course, these beautiful rosy colors would lend themselves equally well to a wedding/anniversary card or a card to welcome a new baby girl, but I love these passages of scripture and decided to use them in this instance.

The card in the tutorial had another panel adhered to the card front, but I chose instead to adhere the cross die cut (top and center only), and to stamp a sentiment directly onto the card stock square panel at the top left.  

The LOVE sentiment is actually stamped onto the inside of the card that peeks out of the bottom right of the fold.  

When the card is opened, the LOVE sentiment forms a pleasing diagonal with the familiar scripture that is stamped at the top left.  

These three sentiments/scriptures are from three different stamp sets but I really love the way they work together to convey God's love and His original plan for our redemption.  No greater love.  ❤️

Were it not for the pearls that I used to embellish the cross, this would also make a great flat-for-mailing card.
