Above the Mountains

This is one of those cards that looks so much better in real life. The background was created using a bit of alcohol and ink, so each turned out to be quite unique. I made four of them, but they all used the same supplies. What do you think?

First, I created my background using the Polished Stone Technique found on SCS. Click HERE for instructions. I did not use a sealer on mine.

Once the background was dry, I adhered the Basic Black to the bottom of the panel. I took the Basic Black piece and tore it to give the illusion of mountains in the distance. I placed one half on one card and the other half on another card.

I then die cut the solid cross on a piece of Wood Textures DSP, and the more intricate cross on a piece of Galvanized Metallic Paper. I adhered the crosses together, using a Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Next, I adhered the glossy panel to the Basic Black matte. This helped to keep it flat. 

I then placed it into my Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment. I did have to stamp the sentiment twice to get it nice and dark. The last card moved a tad without my noticing, but I think it looks like shadow stamping. It makes this one VERY unique.

Next, I adhered the panel to the card front and added the cross, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
