When You Go Through Deep Waters Card

Some friends of mine are going through a rough time right now, and I wanted to make a card that reminds them of God's faithful presence through all our trials. I started by creating a top-folding white A2 card base. Then I embossed the 3D embossing folder from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Coral Reef Wonders project kit and swiped black ink over the top of the embossed areas. I trimmed the panel to 4 by 5 1/4. 

Next, I die cut the seahorse from Altenew's Mini Delight: Graceful Seahorse set out of black and gold cardstocks and assembled it. I added one of Altenew's Antique Gold Sequins for his little eye. 

I had purchased some small notecards with a few different verses on at Hobby Lobby awhile back, and I chose the verse from Isaiah 43:2: When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. What a wonderful promise that is so comforting! I trimmed the notecard so that I could have the first part of the verse at the top left and the rest of it in the bottom right of the panel. Then I added it to the embossed panel with Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I added the panel to a black panel I had trimmed to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 and adhered that to a panel of gold cardstock I trimmed to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. I adhered it all to the white card base and then added more of the Antique Gold sequins. Then I used Altenew's Gold Metallic Marker to add more dots of gold to the panel to look like splatter.
