Some dew drop accents were added for embellishments.

Just Us Girls

 This week it's CASE a DT Week on the Just Us Girls challenge blog. I chose Bobby Hagan's card and used stamps and dies by Papertrey Ink. After stamping all the florals, I then tucked them behind the sentiment slits. I added two punched corner pieces to give the design better balance (I should have lowered the sentiment more...it felt top heavy).

STAMPS: Blooming Beauties, Tuck It Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Scarlet Jewel (PTI); Olive, Key Lime, Sweet Mustard, Marigold, Clementine, Berrylicious, Candy Apple, Regal Kiss, Hydrangea, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum, Raspberry Bliss (Pinkfresh Studio).

Bible Journaling

 

One year ago today...at 10:10pm...I got a phone call from my niece saying my younger brother had died. His wife shared that his favorite verse was Psalm 23:8 so, I thought it was fitting to do a Bible journaling page of Psalm 23 in general. 

STAMPS: All About Ewe (Reverse Confetti).

STENCILS: June 2023 Surprise Box (Papertrey Ink). 

 

In loving memory...Wanda 

Freshly Made Sketches

 

Another great layout is up for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge! I started with some patterned paper and cut with the large Love to Layer: Torn Edges die. I sponged edges with Enchanted Evening ink. The two rectangular elements were ephemera from 49th & Market. I gold embossed the butterfly and sentiment and added some navy/white thread.

PAPER: Vintage Shabby 12x12" pad by Tim Holtz; Stamper's Select White (PTI).

Word Art Wednesday April 29

 

We have a third Word Art Wednesday challenge this month and this time Karen has chosen Revelation 4:11. The verse is a declaration that God deserves all praise because He is the supreme creator and sustainer of life. This immediately brings a beautiful song to my mind. Listen to it HERE on YouTube.

This decorative front flap makes a unique card and you can see all the gorgeous floral paper panel when you open it up.
