Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

 

I needed a break from all the paper work that happens after a spouse's death, so what better way to relax than to create a card?! I pulled this leftover background of layered stamping paired with Liquitex light modeling paste and a dot stencil. I clear embossed a large echinacea and used an aqua painter brush and some distress inks to color it. I'm entering this into the The Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge using the vertical row of die cut, stenciling and layers.

 

STAMPS: Patient Echinacea, Spring Collage Tag (Creative Worship Stamps); French Market (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection by Stampers Anonymous).

INK: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers distress inks; Versafine Clair Nocturne (pigment ink).

Word Art Wednesday Ps. 147:4

 

Good Wednesday everyone! Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge with Psalm 147:4 as our inspiration verse. It's all about stars so that made it easy to begin. 

I stenciled the background with Speckled Egg distress ink using the Night Sky Background stencil from Papertrey Ink. I then die cut the middle sized frame called Border Bling: Skinny Star (PTI). The silver glitter, silver mirror and silver matte stars were die cut with an old die set by My Favorite Things. I computer generated the sentiment at 45% on Sno-Cone paper by Cardstock Warehouse Paper Company.

Hope you can play along for a chance to win a gift card from our generous sponsor! Happy stamping!  ~Wanda

Peachy Roses

I'm using the sketch for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and was inspired by the peaches and  cream tones in the inspiration photo for the Cupcake Inspirations challenge. Out of the large amount of patterned papers in my stash, I could not find anything that matched these peach colors. So, I went with a leopard print!

STAMPS: Bamboo Rose (Altenew).

INK: Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint distress (Ranger); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Vintage Cream, True Black (Papertrey Ink); Leopard Print (The Paper Studio).

DIES: Dotted Swirls Debossing Cover Die, Bamboo Rose (Altenew); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Clear embossing powder.

Word Art Wednesday Luke 6:38

It's the first Word Art Wednesday challenge in May and we have the verse from Luke 6:38 as our inspiration. I reprinted the verse using the NIV version (it was just a clearer interpretation for me personally). It references the word measure at least 3 times, so I knew I wanted to use the measuring tape stamp from the Vintage Snippets stamp set from Creative Worship Stamps. I ran a piece of kraft paper through my crimper and dry embossed a scrap of vellum using a brick embossing folder. I brushed some Antique Linen distress ink on the measuring and crimped panels and also brushed the edges of the sentiment oval.

Once again, I used the Diamond Mesh stencil from CWS with Peacock Feathers distress ink for the card background. Some thread and some yellow enamel dots finished it off. I colored the butterfly with Copics then sprayed with Sheer Shimmer "Sparkle" craft spray.

STAMPS: Made New, Vintage Snippets (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Antique Linen, Peacock Feathers distress; Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Classic Kraft, vellum (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Made New (CWS); Love to Layer: Beautiful Bracket (PTI).

OTHER: Diamond Mesh stencil (CWS); thread; enamel dots; Brick & Mortar embossing folder (Stampin' Up).

We'd love to have you play along for a chance to win a gift card to our sponsor for this challenge! Happy stamping!  ~Wanda

 

 

Bible Journaling

 

I haven't done any Bible journaling in a few days. I was inspired after working on a card for a Word Art Wednesday challenge coming in June. The verses are from a portion of Psalm 127. I started with a brick stencil from Tim Holtz. I added flowers, hearts and the one arrow from Papertrey Ink's With Love stamp set. Coloring was with Prismacolor pencils. Ink was Versafine Onyx Black. Canyon Clay ink (PTI) used with bricks and Terracotta Tile (PTI) used for hearts. The two straight arrows are from The Journey stamp set by Tim Holtz.

These verses brought back a fond memory of my parents saying "their quiver is full" whenever they described a couple not planning on having anymore children.  💖

Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda
