Festive Friday

 

There's a fun new inspiration list for the Festive Friday challenge.  I chose blue(turquoise), green, brown, shells and seaweed. I started by stenciling a 2 layer Pool Water stencil using Cracked Pistachio and Salvaged Patina distress oxide inks. I brush blended inks onto the different shell and seaweed dies. Some dew drop accents were added for embellishments.

STAMPS: Salt Air Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Peacock Feathers, Saltwater Taffy, Warm Lipstick, Salvaged Patine, Bundled Sage, Cracked Pistachio distress oxide (Ranger); Classic Kraft, Honey Nut, Harvest Gold (PTI).

PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Blueprint 27 (My Favorite Things); Summer Shells (Papertrey Ink); Nested Circle (Art Impressions).

OTHER: Pool Water stencil (PTI).

That's it for a leisurely Sunday afternoon.  ~Wanda

 

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).

PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Blooming Beauties, Tuck It Sentiments (PTI); Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Corner Photo Punch (Stampin' Up).

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. 

STAMPS: Made New, Be Encouraged (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK:Versamark; Enchanted Evening (Papertrey Ink).

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

It's a rainy day in VA and the temps are lower again this week (high of mid to upper 60's). Thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda
 

 

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.   

STAMPS: Wild Petals (Papertrey Ink); Verse printed at 50%.

INK: Grassy Knoll, Key Lime, Sweet Mustard, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum, Cherry Blossom, Peony, Coral Reef, Passion Fruit (Pinkfresh Studio).

Paper Players Challenge

The current sketch challenge for The Paper Players was a great one that I couldn't pass up. The scalloped border and the scalloped circle dies are from Papertrey Ink. The echinacea floral and the sentiment are from Creative Worship Stamps.     

The base panel was a leftover that I decided would be a perfect background for this sweet echinacea image.   

 

I smooshed Dusty Concord and Shaded Lilac distress inks over some Bristol Smooth Surface paper then stenciled some dots and stamped some music and script stamps in black.  The flower was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne pigment ink then clear embossed. I used an aquapainter brush to pick up distress ink colors from my glass mat. I finally opened my new Posca white pen and I'm in love! My gelly roll white ink pen just never wanted to work well for me, so I'll see how Posca will perform.

STAMPS: Patient Echinacea, Texture Tiles 1 (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac, Milled Lavender, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Fossilized Amber distress inks (Ranger); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

DIES: Patient Echinacea (Creative Worship Stamps); On the Edge: Scallops Collection, Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: White Posca pen; Prismacolor pencils; Oval punch (Stampin' Up); Lots of Dots mini stencil (Creative Worship Stamps).

 

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!  ~Wanda
