Impatiently waiting!

While I sit here stalking the MSB blog and waiting for the announcement of the DT winners, I will post some cards. :)I made this card for the CAS challenge on SCS. The challenge was to make a monochromatic card. I love green and I thought the white would really pop with it. I ran the background cardstock through my Cuttlebug with the "Textile Textures" embossing folder. The image is one of the free stamps I got from Inkadinkadoo. (See a few posts down). I traced over the flourish lines with a glitter dust pen to make them stand out a bit more. It can be somewhat challenging to make things "pop" on a monochromatic card. I liked this challenge though. At first I thought it might be impossible for me. It turned out to be super simple and fun!

This is a card I made as another open house sample. My party is this Saturday so I'm starting to feel the crunch. In reality I probably have enough samples, but my inner lunatic is screaming "make more, make more!!!".

This was a very simple card to make as well. The flowers were the hardest part, and that's saying something! I just cut them out and pop-dotted them above the wheelbarrow. I colored the wheelbarrow with PrismaColor pencils and glittered the flowers with clear stickles. The cardstock I used: Orchid Opulence (SU) and Creamy Caramel (SU). The stamp set is also from SU and it's called "Blooming with Love".

Well, that killed a little time. Not enough I'm sure, but it's something! Right!?

Creator - ATC

When I picked the bible verse I wanted to use for the HHN09 challenge: Creator, I immediately thought of two projects I wanted to do. The scrapbook page below with my son, and an ATC (of course)! I love this verse! It's a great reminder that not only is God our Creator, but He is also our Provider. He hears our prayers! I used a stencil for the butterfly which I inked with sponge daubers in various colors. I tried to continue the color scheme on the edges of the card by inking the sides in each of the colors. I then stickled around the lines of the butterfly wings and added jewels to the ends. The verse is handwritten.

The ink colors I used were: Certainly Celery, Positively Pink, Yo-Yo Yellow, and Orchid Opulence.

God is bigger than anything we can face. Big enough for creation and yet small enough to care for the cries of our hearts!

Praise Him!

Sovereign - Another ATC card

I finished my 3rd ATC for the "His Holy Name Challenge" on Splitcoast. I am finding that I really enjoy making these little cards.

To be honest, I don't know what I would do with them outside of displaying them. In this case; I like that it's bible verses because I can get a little display stand and always have a great verse handy! I guess maybe I could include them in cards I send out. Hmmm.....

Well, here it is: I stamped the chandelier with Brilliance - Rocket Red pigment ink. I then heat embossed it with clear powder. I cut a piece of acetate to cover the card so that I could put the verse on. "Sovereign" is written on the cardstock, under the acetate. I adhered the acetate with two black brads and covered them with black stickles. I dotted the acetate with stickles over "Sovereign". The verse is hand-written with a black, thin-line Sharpie. (Psalm 73:28)
