Fab Friday Challenge #207 // Just Add Ink Challenge #541 // Inspired By Challenge #161

Today's first card was created for the Inspired By challenge ( #IB161 ).  Their challenge offers us both a photo and a sketch.  I used both as inspiration for today's card.  

My second card was inspired by two challenges...

Just Add Ink // #541 ...A technique challenge!! Blended backgroud.  It has been ages since I have played with my Kaleidoscope ink pad, but this challenge was perfect for pulling them out and putting them to use. 

Fab Friday // #FF207 ...A sketch challenge!! I love the simplicity of the sketch...so many possibilities!

Verse of the Day:

I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

PSALM 40:1-2 (ESV)

Paper Craft Crew Challenge 413 // CAS Colours & Sketches 406

 Two challenges = Two cards...

This first card was inspired by the sketch challenge from the Paper Craft Crew.  Challenge #413 was a horizontal sketch.  I used both the designer papers and the stamp set from Stampin Up's Sale-A-Bration catalog...Berry Blessings!!  I usually am not a fan of the Pacific Point color but it is perfect for these blueberries!

My second card was inspired by the sketch challenge from CAS Colours & Sketches.  The simplicity of this sketch took me back to when I first started stamp...alot of my cards followed this exact layout!! It is simple and it works!!  I am loving this Old World Paper embossing folder from Stampin Up...it gives the perfect amount of texture behind these two little love birds from Stampin Up's Have A Hoot bundle.

Verse of the Day:

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!

PSALM 113:3 (ESV)

Try Stampin On Tuesday Challenge #492 // Hand Stamped Sentiments #357 // Fusion Challenge 2.4.21

 Two Cards & Three Challenges...

My first card was inspired by the sketch challenge from the Try Stampin On Tuesday blog.  This sketch was perfect for showcasing Stampin Up's new Sweet Strawberry bundle along with the matching designer papers from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

My second card was inspired by two challenges.  The Fusion challenge...for this challenge we are given both a photo and a sketch.  We can use one or the other...or we can fuse them together, thus creating a Fusion!!  I decided to use both!!  The second challenge that inspired this card was the color challenge from the Hand Stamped Sentiments team.  The color combo for this challenge is Bermuda Bay, Real Red, and Blushing Bride.

The Spot Challenge #149 // Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #357

 Two challenges inspired today's card...

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS357 ...A color challenge!! Their current color combo is Real Red, Blushing Bride, and Bermuda Bay.  A fun combo for a masculine Valentine's Day card.

The Spot // #149 ...A sketch challenge!!  I used this sketch to create a Valentine's Day card for my hubby!  Ever try the brayer technique to get a reserve image?? That is what I did so I could have two turtles facing each other.  How??  Ink up your stamp...roll your brayer across the inked image...immediately roll inked brayer on to your paper!! It give a lighter image so I "stamped off" for my second turtle so that they would be closer to the same color.

 

Verse of the Day:

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
