And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

Paper Craft Crew #435 // Tic Tac Toe #122 // Fusion 7.8.21

 2 Cards...

1st Card...

Fusion // 7.8.21 ...A fused challenge!! A photo and a sketch...used one or the other or fuse them together and use both.  I decided to use both elements as inspiration for my card. Stampin Up's new To the Moon stamp set was perfect for this challenge!!

2nd Card...

Tic Tac Toe // #tttc122 ...A game board challenge!! My winning three in a row run across the bottom of the game board...stencil, vellum, butterfly.  For my stencil I used the butterfly die and a versa mark pad to create my background.  In real life it is very visible but this photo does not do it justice!! For my vellum I cut out a second butterfly die using vellum and layered it over the Tangerine Tango butterfly.  For my butterfly I used Stampin Up's retired set, Butterfly Basics bundle.

Paper Craft Crew // #PPC435 ...A sketch challenge!!  My sentiment banner ended up being a bit larger than called for but hopefully it is close enough to the sketch to count!!

As You See It #254 // INKspirational #243 // TGIF #325 // Just Add Ink #563

 2 cards for 4 challenges...

1st Card...

As You See It // #AYSI254 ...A sketch challenge!! This sketch called for a focal point.  For my focal point I used a retired die from Stampin Up...two of them layered with an offset.  I can't remember which set it was from but it has been a favorite of mind and I just haven't been able to part with it.

INKspirational Challenges // #243 ...A photo challenge!! This photo with all it's busy greenery made me think of this retired designer paper from Stampin Up that I had in my stash.  And the navy and green color combo seemed perfect for a wedding card...here is to the new Mr. & Mrs.!!

2nd card...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc325 ...A theme challenge!! Vacation Vibes is the theme for this current challenge!!  Nothing says vacation like a chair in the sand with sun rays beating down on you!!

Just Add Ink // #JAI563 ...A sketch challenge!!  I used a torn edge to separate the top and bottom of the sketch...I love torn paper for making beach scenes.

 2 challenges inspired today's card...

Color Throwdown // #ctd651 ...A color challenge!! Blue, Aqua, Magenta, and Green....for me that means Night of Navy, Tempting Turquoise, Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green.  Seemed like a good color combo for an underwater scene.  Showcasing Stampin Up's Seascape bundle.

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS368 ...A sketch challenge!!  I used stamps only to represent this sketch.  I sometimes find it fun to recreate a sketch with out using papers...ink only!!  What do you think??  Ever do that??
