Birthday Butterflies - Slimline Sized

Hi, everyone! It's time for another new Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast!  For my card, I started by cutting out the card base with the Slimline Card Base Die by Divinity Designs LLC and layers with the Slimline Rectangles Dies and Slimline Layering Rectangles Dies.  The light aqua layer was dry embossed with the 'Circles' Mixed Media Stencil.  The three triangles were cut by hand from the Geometric Paper Collection - Slimline Sized by following the lines in the paper design then matted onto white.  The sentiment is from 'Shine Bright' and the 'Butterfly Trio' Dies were cut from the same aqua paper then sponged to highlight the details. Matching baker's twine and sparkly sequins were added as finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings,

Your Mercies Are New Every Morning

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Gunilla aka gunilla.holmqvist. Congrats, Gunilla!!!  Wow, what an amazing gallery....I'm in love with her creative clean and simple style!!!  I chose this beautiful card to case....loved the cut out words, loved the aqua/purple/green color combo and the birdie was a perfect touch!  I am using one of the new Bible journaling stamps from Our Daily Bread designs, Your Mercies, along with the greenery flourish from the Belles Vignes set around the edges.  Since I do not have a journaling Bible, I have been creating bookmarks and cards with the journaling stamps.  The Your Mercies stamp was stamped twice in Stazon;  the largest bird and all of the words were fussy cut and popped up for dimension onto the rectangle base which was sponged in aqua and the 'Belle Vignes' vines stamped on the edges.  The dimensions of this card are 6 x 3-1/2...good thing I have lots of 12x12 cardstock in my stash!

Thanks for visiting with me today!

God bless!

Mint Chocolate Refuge

Happy Saturday, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from a Winter White Pinterest board......I fell in love with the color combo from this photo of hot cocoa, so I used mint green, espresso brown, and a touch of light blue in my card.  The 'My Refuge' stamp is one of seven new Bible Journaling stamps from Our Daily Bread designs.  Since I do not have a journaling Bible, I made a card instead.  The stamp was inked in mint green, then the scripture was colored in brown with a marker before stamping onto white.  Once the panel was trimmed, light blue and brown were sponged around the edges.  The border die is from the ODBD Custom Beautiful Borders Dies set and the little flowers on the card base were stamped with the Boho Love set.  To mimic the cocoa sprinkles from the photo, some brown ink was spritzed over the image.

Thanks for visiting with me!

Have a blessed weekend!!
