Psalm 91 Feather Card

I recently purchased Altenew's Dreamy Feather layering die set, and I wanted to pair it with my stamp of Psalm 91:4: "He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge" to create a set of praying for you themed cards. I feel like that verse is such an encouragement! God truly is our refuge. 

To create this set of cards, I started with burgundy 5X7 cards bases and cut some feather-themed pattern paper down to 2 3/4 inches by 4 1/4 inches and adhered that piece to the top right of the card base. Then I stamped the verse on cardstock that I trimmed to 2 3/4 inches by 2 inches. 

For the layering die, I die cut the 4 layers using various snippets of cardstock I had in my scrap collection. I chose papers I thought matched the colors in the feather-themed pattern paper and the card base. I made a total of 15 cards, and each one is a little different based on the scraps I used. The first one I made used black for the top layer of the die set, but then I decided to use my gold mirror card stock for the top and bottom layers. I like the shine it adds to the cards. On my prototype card, I also used foam tape to give the feather more dimension, but for the others, I just adhered the feathers using liquid glue. They are already several layers thick, and this will make them easier to mail. 

I have found that I really love assembling layering die sets, so this was relaxing rather than tedious for me. I found that using my precision tip liquid glue bottle was easier than putting double sided adhesive sheets behind the cardstock and then fighting with all those sticky bits that needed to come out of the frame (at least for the top outline layer). 

For the inside sentiment, I used stamps from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Casual Bouquets set. 

Here's a look at the prototype card with the black outline layer
