Isaiah 6:3 for Word Art Wednesday

This scripture is gorgeous...both in its awe-inspiring content and in the beauty of how it has been shared in word art.  It is available for download at Word Art Wednesday where you can also see inspiration pieces and read a related devotional.  It's worth a stop!

My card includes Fun Frames and Wreath Favor Box florals, both from Papertrey Ink.  The PTI papers and inks work together so well!

Thanks for visiting,

Pastel Birthday Bouquet

 Shauna has shared a wonderful video on the Papertrey Ink blog showing the creative process for a gorgeous floral bouquet card.  I am taking the challenge to create a floral bouquet using the Birthday Bouquet set from PTI.  I have fallen in love with Mint Julep so I kept the colors soft to coordinate with the pale leaves.  The card base is Aqua Mist...another favorite shade, and the intricate border was cut using the Scrolled Frame die.

Thanks so much for visiting.  I hope your Monday is as wonderful as mine has been!

Happy Birthday with Lush Blooms

 Dana shared a bright and cheerful card on the PTI blog as she challenged card-makers to create a floral birthday card.  My creation features Lush Blooms in Soft Blush, Hibiscus Burst, and Raspberry Fizz.  A Delicates die and a little foliage from Into the Blooms Dahlias are tucked behind.  It's already in an envelope for a friend's birthday tomorrow.

Thanks for visiting,

Peony Love

 Swooning over the gorgeous inspiration at the Card Concept.  I wish my dining room table were decorated like the one in the photo!

I was inspired by the pink flowers and the bold black and white stripes as I created my clean and layered card which consists of Papertrey Ink's Into the Blooms: Peonies dies, Charming Tags I, and Tiny Tags.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Warm Fuzzies

 I was blessed with a win in the PIP Challenge, and this is one of the adorable Gerda Steiner stamps purchased with the gift code.  It was tons of fun to watercolor this cute little bear with Distress Inks and to place him center-stage on the card front.  The sweet sentiment is stamped inside:  Sending you lots of warm fuzzies.

Many thanks to Pam and Lacy for the wonderful challenge and fabulous prize!

SSS Wednesday Challenge Something New

PIP Challenge

Monochrome Hello

The Great Cover-Up Challenge on the Papertrey Ink blog includes a great tutorial on layering die cuts to create a 'faux 3-D embossed' look.  The Delicates die is layered three times for each use on the card panel.  All in all, I used almost a whole 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock for the panel and the die cuts.  A little Plum Pudding ink was blended over the assembled panel to add some depth, and then I added white acrylic paint splatters.  It's finished off with a Hello die  which was stacked four times.

This was a fun process....hope you will give it a try.

Thanks so much for visiting,

Psalm 146:2 for Word Art Wednesday

 

Welcome to the first Word Art Wednesday challenge for the new year!  Singing praise to God is a wonderful way to begin 2022, for certain!

The vertical orientation of this sweet verse said bookmark to me, and the content of the Psalm seemed fitting with musical patterned paper and birds.  The strip of paper on the left was a perfectly-sized scrap from a Heidi Swapp stack.  Brushed Birds stamped in Aqua Mist coordinate with the Bitty Big print used for the base of the card.  I wanted the bookmark to detach easily, so I strategically glued the edges of the birds to create a bit of a pocket....so simple!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Christine
