Christmas Sparkle for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

  It's July 1st! Can you believe it?? I for one am glad the months are rolling by. First, it's Christmas in July. I love  watching Christmas movies!! Second, we are getting closer to December! But, in the mean time, there is a new Christmas challenge over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. See the theme below...

#174 CHRISTMAS SPARKLE

  

 And here is what I did with the theme...

 My card is done in Sparkly Silver! I die cut the lattice metallic silver paper. I then added a few evergreen branches and a few frosted "Sparkly" dots for the berries.

 It's sometimes hard to photograph metallic or metallic heat embossed cards but, I think you can see the shine on this pretty card that will go into my stash for use a little later in the year!

Thank for stopping by. I hope you will feel inspired and head over to the blog and add your creation! Bye for now..

Big God

  Hello and welcome! This one of my last cards featuring the NEW products from * Creative Worship Stamps. 

 I stamped the NEW Peaceful Botanicals large leaf spray on my base CS. I then stamped 3 different greens on my glass board and sprayed with water and pressed the card base in random spots to create and mottled look. I then took the NEW Jumbled Diamonds Stencil and pressed my versa mark pad over the stencil randomly to create pockets of heat embossed gold blocks. I then heat embossed the NEW Big God stamp(which I love) in gold and stamped over that with the leaf stamp again. I originally cut it out with one of the Rectangle Dies but decided it covered the background too much so I cut up the sections and placed it on the front of the card.  

The Big God stamp speaks to the faithfulness of our God, our BIG God! He never grows weak or sleeps. He is aware of our circumstances at all times. Sometimes He rescue's right away, sometimes we are on a journey to learn from our circumstance. Either way, the Christian knows the peace that comes with knowing He is always there.

For TSOT 673

  Hello! This card is for the new sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday Checkout the fun sketch below!!

 **************************

 When I decided to use butterflies for the 3 circles of the sketch, I wasn't sure if I would watercolor them or even what colors the card would be. I did the base first and did a multi-green watercolor wash. I split the cardstock into two and followed the sketch. I stamped several images of the butterflies and colored them but they seemed too strong for the soft background. That's when I decided to white heat emboss them and let them float across the front of the card.

 All of my products are from Creative Worship Stamps. You click on the link and head over to their website and checkout all their wonderful products.

For Sunday Stamps

  Well hello and happy Sunday! This card is for the new challenge over at the Sunday Stamps blog. This round it's a Color Challenge. See the pretties below...

 I chose to go a little stronger with the colors. A little more summery like all the beautiful gardens in bloom now! I used all *Creative Worship Stamps products from their June release. The Floating Circles made the perfect background for these lovely blooms from the Bloom with Grace stamp and die set. 

 The set is also full of beautiful encouraging sentiments and scriptures. A few black dots strategically placed and this card is finished and ready for my stash or to be mailed out to someone. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will join in this color challenge with us and get create something with these fabulous summery colors!

For TSOT Challenge 672

 Hello and Happy Tuesday! It's time for another challenge over at Try A Sketch on Tuesday. See the fun image below...

 This is a fun layered sketch and I had fun with this one. Masculine cards can sometimes be challenging. It's easy to make pretty floral cards and add lots of embellishments but for a male, I really have to put a little more thought into the design of it. I have a few what I call masculine stamp sets and this is one of them. It's called Wetlands. I love the sketched look of the images and the sentiments. I only wish it had a father's day sentiment.

 I normally have to print off sentiments I don't have sets for and this occasion is one of them but, I have more freedom to adjust the font and size and that is nice. I stenciled the base of the card instead of using a DSP and that really helped pull this card together. All I used was papers to get this textured layered card to come together.

 Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will stop by the other DT blogs and get more inspiration and join in for challenge #672!
