Challenge 674 for Try A Sketch on Tuesday

  It's time for a new challenge over at the  Try a sketch on Tuesday Blog. This time it's one of my favorite looks! I do love a mottled, smooshing, splattered, grungy layered base. See the graphic below.... 

 I kept my colors to pinks and gray. For the circles I chose to use a wreath from the Thoughtful Wreath Stamp Set. Leaves are from the Sketched Leaves Background stamp and the sentiment is from the Hummingbird Wishes Stamp Set. I placed that on the pretty scalloped dies from the Stitched Rectangles. All the products used are from Creative Worship Stamps.

 I hope you will checkout the TSOT Blog and see the samples the DT has made to inspire you to join in this challenge with us! I am also going to enter our sister challenge over at the Double Trouble Challenge. I hope you will join in for that challenge also! Thanks for stopping by see you next time.  ;)

Bye for now...

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. 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new challenge. I hope you will feel inspired to join in with us. Bye for now...

 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.
