Try Stampin on Tuesday Challenge #491 & INKspirational Challenge #231

 Two challenges inspired today's card...

Try Stampin on Tuesday // #TSOT491 ...A sketch challenge!! A slim line sketch!  I love making slim line cards but I don't make them very often.  Thanks for the inspiration!!

INKspirational Challenge // #231 ...A inspiration challenge!  This photo had me stumped for a moment.  I finally finished it and then missed the linky deadline...oh well!! I love how it turned out.

 

Verse of the day:

fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Less Is More Challenge #435

 

Today's card was inspired by the Less Is More challenge.  (#LIM435) Their current challenge...IN A ROW!  For some reason I right away thought of the star border embossing folder...How could I use this row of stars?!?  I played around with this all week!  A 5 star rating is what I landed on!!  Perfect card for a birthday or maybe a congratulations of some sort!!

Verse of the Day:

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Red (chalk and card stock...burgandy is in the red family correct?)

Stencil (brick stencil across the bottom of my card)

Inspired By // #IB159 ...A photo challenge & sketch challenge!  Today I used both the sketch and the photo.  I loved them both and they went so good together!!

Just Us Girls // #JUG569 ...A wild card challenge!  This week we are MASKING!  I used the masking technique to give my love birds a layered look and to surround them with leaves.

Verse of the Day:

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

GALATIANS 2:20 (NIV)

CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #405 & Just Add Ink #539

I am so sad to see the CAS(E) this Sketch blog close down!!  This may been their last challenge ( #405 ) but I have many of their sketches saved....this blog has been a great source of inspiration over the years!!  405 challenges...that is alot of inspiration!!  I wish them all the best as life takes each of the in another direction!!

My take on the sketch is a birthday card that I made for my son-in-laws birthday!!  He love giraffes and while I have mostly used this stamp on birthday cards I just couldn't resist using it for his birthday this year!!  

The Just Add Ink Challenge ( #JAI539) also inspired today's card.  Their challenge this week was to choose two...border//bow//banner.  I choose to use the border and the bow.  Well actually a trio of bows!!  And for my border I used my score board to create a lined border down the side of my card.

Fusion Challenge 1.21.21 // CASology Challenge #382 // Paper Craft Crew Challenge #411

 3 different cards for 3 different challenges...

Fusion // Flowers 1.21.21 ...A sketch and/or photo challenge!  I usually try and create a fusion card using both options and fusing them together.  But this week I just used the photo as my inspiration!!  All the dies that I used on this card are retired from Stampin Up...some things are just hard to say good bye to!! The sentiment and embossing folder are available in the current catalog.

CASology // #382 ...A cue card challenge!  Our cue card this week is...UNITE!! Nothing says unite like becoming Mr & Mrs.  I love the wedding card that I creating using Stampin Up's Monogram Messages stamp set.  It is a simple card that went together very quickly but still has an elegant feel!

Paper Craft Crew // #PCC411 ...A sketch challenge!  Here is my take on the vertical sketch challenge from the Paper Craft Crew.  I used one of the shells that I created yesterday but didn't use....I inked up my embossing folder with white ink and embossed the ink & shell images onto Night of Navy cards stock.  I love the way these shells turned out!!

Verse of the Day:

Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
