Creative Worship Stamps Guest Designer

 

Well, it's hard to believe March has already passed us by and that  means my time as a guest designer for Creative Worship Stamps is over! Thanks again to CWS staff (Esther Asbury was my talented go-to person for questions...thank you!). For my last card, I made a feeble attempt at background collage. I'm going to persist until I get to a better outcome as I really love this look! CWS has some really awesome Texture Styles stamps that help with this technique! Be sure to check out their store HERE.

STAMPS: Finch Collage, Be Encouraged, Texture Tiles 1, Texture Tiles 6 (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Ground Espresso, Black Soot distress inks.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White (Papertrey Ink).

That's a wrap for today and for March! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!  ~Wanda
 

 

Blooming Tulips

 

This Blooming Tulips set is a favorite floral to color (I used Copics)! The sentiment is from the Rustic Easter set and the background script, & splatters are from the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set - all by Creative Worship Stamps. If you look closely, you can spot the Diamond Mesh stencil in a light moss color.

Tag Card

 

I am playing along with two challenges:

Just Us Girls #815 - It's mood board week and I was inspired by the black background with pops of bold floral colors. *Oops! This challenge is past the deadline. :-(

Freshly Made Sketches #729 - a fun layout by Amy.

 

STAMPS: Texture Tiles 1 (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn distress inks; Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Brisstol Smooth Surface; Stamper's Select White, True Black (Papertrey Ink); Black & White Stripes (My Favorite Things).

DIES: Tag Sale #3, Into the Blooms: Blossoming Beauties, On the Edge: Scallops Collection, Stitched Florals (Papertrey Ink). 

OTHER: Black jute twine. 

I stamped the script and the mesh grid stamps from Creative Worship Stamps' Texture Tiles 1 set on the tag. Florals were die cut from Bristol Smooth Surface paper then distress inks were smooshed onto the pieces. I didn't add a sentiment for now. Sometimes I like to have a blank card to add a sentiment as needed.

It's a rainy day in Virginia. Good day to concentrate on some stamping classes I signed up for at Creative Worship Stamps!f  ~Wanda
 

Springtime Daisies

 

Once again, I'm using the Flowers In Bloom, Be Encouraged, and Texture Tiles 1 stamps from Creative Worship Stamps. I stamped the florals with black pigment ink then clear embossed the image and colored with Copics. If you struggle with splatters, the one stamp in this Texture Tiles 1 set will give you perfect splatters every time! 

STAMPS: Flowers In Bloom, Be Encouraged, Texture Tiles 1 (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Memento Tuxedo Black; Antique Line, Peacock Feathers distress inks.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White; X-Press It Blending Card; Patterned paper by Honey Bee.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

 

I loved the unique layout for the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and just had to play along. I was in an earthy neutral mode and used scraps of patterned papers from Honeybee's Textiles & Textures Vintage pad. I die cut strips and adhered them to a rustic white panel then splattered with Ground Espresso distress ink. Some jute twine topped off this simple design.

 

STAMPS: Be Encouraged (Creative Worship Stamps).

DIES: Love to Layer: Rectangles (Papertrey Ink); Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Diagonal Shortcuts (Concord & 9th).

 

 That's all folks! Have a blessed day!  ~Wanda 

 

Graduation Truck

 

I had a special request to create a graduation card for a young man who takes pride and joy in his black pickup truck. I went with Spellbinders large die of the month October for this fun way to "fill up" the rear of the truck with personalized items. Mindy Eggen has a fabulous 6 step stencil set called Scenic Drive that pairs up well with the truck. 

Here's a view of the inside of the card-->

STAMPS: Congratulations Graduate, Hats Off (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Seaside, Sky Blue, Sunshine, Peach Fizz, Doe, Key Lime, Grassy Knoll (Pinkfresh Studio); Canyon Clay (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

DIES: Large die of the month: October (Spellbinders); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Hats Off, Congratulations Graduate (PTI).

 That's a wrap for today.  ~Wanda

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He Lives!

 

Two more weeks and Easter will be here and we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is another Easter card using stamps/dies from Creative Worship Stamps. I stamped the cross using a black pigment ink then clear embossed it and colored with Copics. I used some silver paint for the nails (the shine doesn't show up in the photo very well). I cut out multiple foliage die cuts and color blended with distress inks then arranged them behind the cross. The patterned paper is from a 12 x 12" page I've had for MANY years and do not know the manufacturer's name.   

STAMPS: Rustic Easter (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio distress inks.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White (PTI); Patterned paper - ? source.

DIES: Rustic Easter, Foliage (Creative Worship Stamps).

OTHER: Oval punches (Stampin' Up); Metal photo turn (American Crafts); Silver paint.
