Word Art Wednesday

 

It's the last Wednesday of October and the last Word Art Wednesday of the month. My colors aren't very "fallish" but I worked ahead on this card beginning of September and the temps were VERY HOT - lol! 

Psalm 16:11 means that true, lasting joy and eternal fulfillment are found only in a close, personal relationship with God and the hope of eternal life. How can we apply this?  Seek God's guidance, spend time in His presence and trade in temporary habits for lasting spiritual joy. 

For starters, I chose a pierced cover die panel that was in my leftover pile. I rewrote the verse in NIV then printed it on my HP OfficeJet Pro printer and die cut it with a doily die from Papertrey Ink. A patterned paper banner and a handful of violets - color blended with brushes - finished up the project.

STAMPS: Sentiment was computer generated.

INK:Amethyst Allure, Winter Wisteria, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Bright Buttercup (PTI).

PAPER: Stampers Select White, Bitty Big: Amethyst Allure (PTI).

DIES: Delicate Doilies, Into the Blooms:Violets (Papertrey Ink); Banner Flag STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Pinwheel Quilt Top (Concord & 9th).

Hope to see you in the gallery! Remember, our sponsor is giving away a $25 gift card to some lucky participant!  ~Wanda 

Paper Players Challenge

 

The Paper Players Challenge has a sketch for us this week. I flipped the elements to the opposite side after adding white splatters to the tag and the dark green background. It's hard to see the tone on tone stamping...it's very subtle (I stamped the Christmas text with Pinefeather ink over Pinefeather paper). The poinsettia would have popped more if the tag was white and the image was colored. I'm thinking this needs a do-over! 😝

 

 

STAMPS: Christmas Text Background, Winter Collage Tag (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Pinefeather (Papertrey Ink); Versamark.

PAPER: Mirror Gold; Pure Poppy, Pinefeather, Ocean Tides (PTI).

DIES: Tag & More (Creative Worship Stamps). 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda
 

Sunday Stamps Challenge

 

I am playing along with the Sunday Stamps challenge to "get sketchy". I subbed a circular wreath instead of an oval and CASEd a card by Joe Sysavath that I saw on IG. I loved the two shades of pinks paired with silver glitter paper. This card was for a lady who survived a bout with cancer and I was celebrating with a party attended by family and friends.

 

STAMPS: This is Big Sentiments: Thanks (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Bitty Big: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Sweet Blush, Stampers Select White (PTI); Silver glitter.

DIES: Blueprints 27, Leaves (My Favorite Things); This is Big Sentiments: Thanks (PTI).

 

Thanks again to Joey for his inspiration with this card!  ~Wanda

Sending Love

 

I'm playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches and Just Us Girls challenges. It's stencil week at Just Us Girls so I placed the leafy stencil inside my splatter box and sprayed with Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio distress stain inks. I then placed another piece of white paper over the reverse "image" and this was the result.

Feeling Flakey

 

Over the weekend, I was playing with the new snowflake dies from Creative Worship Stamps and ended up with 3 similar but different designs. I layered Spring Rain (PTI) snowflakes over navy outline backgrounds for the first try. The second card, I layered white over Picked Raspberry distress spray stain flakes. The back ground was sprayed with Cracked Pistachio distress spray stain then stenciled with the same color of ink pad using the Speckle stencil from CWS. The snowflakes were sprayed with Sheer Shimmer "Sparkle" spray. The third card layered gold and silver flakes with Enchanted Evening (PTI) paper.

The sentiments were stamped using Sentiment Suite: Christmas by The Greetery and cut by the Sentiment Suite Basic die set (same company). The embossing folder above was by Spellbinders and the frame die by Papertrey Ink.
