Hope in Him

 

The background was created using 3 different "pretty papers" so I entered this into a challenge called Love Those Pretty Papers challenge blog. I had the background panel in my leftover pile, so this was a rather quick card to throw together. I stamped images in black pigment ink then clear embossed. I used an aquapainter brush to blend distress inks onto the florals.

STAMPS: Your Friendship, Hope in the Lord (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn, Kitsch Flamingo, Dried Marigold distress inks (Ranger).

PAPER: 12x12" scraps of designer paper; Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink); Watercolor paper (Ranger).

WAW Eucalyptus

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge! This time we are featuring Proverbs 16:32. I recreated the verse in a Word document to modernize some of the wording and used the English Standard Version. Since the Stamp Simply company is sponsoring this challenge, I used their Eucalyptus Silhouettes stamp/die set for my card.

I'm continuing to whittle away at my leftover pile and had a lot of extra eucalyptus sprays already stamped using distress inks. The background was already made using the Coverplate Exquisite die over soft stone paper. 

STAMPS: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply).

INK: Variety of distress inks.

PAPER: Stampers Select, Soft Stone (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply); Coverplate Exquisite,  Love to Layer: Ovals (PTI). 

OTHER: Crinkled seam binding.

We would love to have you play along with us! One lucky participant will win a $25 gift card from Stamp Simply.  Happy stamping!  Wanda
