Papyrus Inspired

When inspiration seems "no where to be found", I go to my computer files where I keep sketches and cards that REALLY inspired me when I put them there and find something that "speaks" to me. I found a Papyrus card tucked away  for a long while that I really liked, so I decided to CASE it:)!!    The Papyrus card was very similar, with colored strips, mixed with silver and black strips and a vellum stamped sentiment over the strips...I had found my inspiration:)...
I adhered the strips to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of thinner card stock(to avoid too much weight).  I stamped, embossed, wrapped, scored, folded and adhered the vellum to the card and adhered the whole panel to a white card.  Took me a while to find a lengthy sentiment, in this case scripture, to fit the space, but thought it a perfect fit!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
