Fuschia Florals

 Hello, Hello!

A new floral and watercoloring make a great combo!  

I used my trusty Ken Oliver Colorburst Powders and Canson Watercolor paper. The image is from the SnSS Blooming Anemones Stamp Set.  I fussy cut the image out and then looked for a card sketch for inspiration.  I am using the sketch from the As You See It Challenge.  

I used a piece of watercolor paper I had in my stash that was made with orange Colorburst powder.  I also found a scrap of music notes patterned paper which was perfect for the sentiment.  

The sentiment is from the Sweet n Sassy Stamps Singing Praises Stamp Set.  

Once again, I added a few SSS Moonshine sequins to finish the card.  I also added a bit of wink of Stella to the petals.  

I am   linking up to Addicted to Stamps and More for their dies cuts and stencils challenge.  I have used a large rectangle die on this card background. 

Time Out Challenges has an Encouragement/friendship/cancer awareness challenge this week.

Hyperlinks

 Hello and happy Friday Eve, 

We have officially started our study of Hebrews; in the past I have ignored cross references, but this go around, I decided that with it being Hebrews-which is heavily cross referenced- I would look up and write the verses down.  

So here I am, off and running!

It is amazing to see the number of cross references, or, in today's lingo- hyperlinks- throughout scripture.  It is impossible to deny the prophetic verses throughout the Old Testament and it is impossible to deny the incredible knowledge of the Old Testament the early Jewish believers had.  

I used a downloadable journaling sheet from the Bible Tips and Tricks group on FB.  I used Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink around the edges of the sheet and then used Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink and a leaf stencil on top of the lighter green.  For a bit more color and texture I sponged Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink through a SnSS Grunge Dots Stencil.  

I needed some color- and some flowers- so I stamped the whimsical flowers and a bee from the SnSS Flower Garden Stamp Set.  I have a secret- I was not liking the thick cs on my Bible pages nor on my printables like this one.  So, I have started stamping my images on heavy weight printer paper.  It does fine with Copic markers and lays flat on the paper.  

That's all for me!  We are one day away from the weekend already!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Studying Hebrews

 Hello, Hello!  

This weekend was productive, fall-like, and fast!  I am beginning Bible study and this fall we are studying the book of Hebrews.  Part of Bible study is memorizing scripture-something that I have never been good at or enjoyed- but I am determined to put God's Word in my heart.  

I decided that I would journal the scripture verses that are to be memorized.  For the next 6 weeks we are working on Hebrews 1:1-7.  

I opted for a muted color palette (trying to break out of a color rut).  I penciled in my scripture to make sure I had room for it.  Once I had that figured out, I erased it and then added color to the page with Distress Oxide ink in Evergreen Bough and Broken China.  Using a couple of leaf stencils, I added leaves using the same colors.  I added fern fronds using a stencil as well. 

The bird image comes from the SnSS set, Singing Praises.  The bird was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. The Flowers (oh, how I love these flowers) is from the new My Savior's Love Stamp Set.  Both images were fussy cut out and glued to the page.  

The scripture was written using a .03 Pigma Micron Pen.  I put a sheet of notebook paper behind my page so I could see the lines faintly and use them as a guide to write in straight lines.  I am terrible at writing without lines- everything tends to slant upwards, as you can see in my scripture reference.  

I love how this turned out and writing out the scripture has helped me to start memorizing it.  I think I will write out the cross reference verses from Hebrews as well.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!

A Gnomie Christmas

 Happy Wednesday! 

This idea popped into my head again (I hate when that happens) and I just had to put in on paper.  I thought this adorable gnome with lights from the Christmas Gnomes Stamp Set paired perfectly with the shrooms in the new set from Sweet n Sassy Stamps, Colors of Fall.  This set is so stinkin' gorgeous.  

Two mushroom images were stamped on the background panel and colored with Copics.  The gnome was stamped on another sheet of cs and colored with Copics, then fussy cut out.  He was popped up on dimensional tape in front of the shrooms.  

I kept the card simple, just a strip of red cs to ground everything.  The sentiment is from the Christmas Wordfetti Stamp Set.  A few SSS Moonshine Sequins finish the card. 

I am linking up to Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes Christmas Challenge.  

I am also linking up to Jingle Belles- Christmas card based on a Christmas movie.  The box of tangled  Christmas lights remind me of the Christmas Vacation Christmas lights scene.
