Paper Pieced Faith

 Hi Again!  

A friend has requested more cards with this adorable image and sentiment (sadly, retired).  

I used a sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches for the card~ 

I am also making an attempt to use stash that I have had forEVER.  So, patterned paper it was, plus a scalloped rectangle frame that was in my bits and bobs pile sitting on my desk.  

I paper pieced the girl's clothing. used coordinating papers for the background panels and then stamped the sentiment and framed it with the orange frame.  

I am linking up to Tuesday Morning Sketches~

As well as a brand new challenge, Love Those Pretty Papers, which is anything goes.  

Thanks for stopping  by and have a blessed weekend!

Geranium Joy

 Hello Friends!  

I have been revisiting older stamps like this Geranium from Unity Stamps.  It has not seen ink for quite some time.  

I have also been trying to use bits and pieces sitting on my desk, such as the scalloped patterned paper.  It was the perfect green for the card.  I colored the image with Copics but kept it very loose to give it a bit of a watercolored look.  The image was then fussy cut out.  

The sentiment is from SnSS, now known as Creative Worship Stamps.  I stamped the 'count it all' on a strip of paper and then stamped the 'joy' separate and fussy cut it out.  

The background panel was in my stash- made with a stencil and distress ink, using the reverse stenciling technique. Everything was assembled- scrap paper was used to pop up parts of the flower.  

A few SSS Moonshine sequins finish the card.

Birthday Cowboy

  Hello, Hello! 

I have been enjoying playing with older stamps and pulled out another oldie but goodie from MFT.  I made a birthday card for a friend's grandson who lives in the great state of Texas.  I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches~ 

I really loved this line of stamps- so cute!  

Here is the sketch~

I used the colors from Sunday Stamps~

This cowboy was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I have been trying to use up patterned paper (use up is a relative term- I'm just trying to use SOME!) so this sketch was perfect.  I used Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink for the large sentiment- I love the coverage you get with this ink.  

The sentiment strip was die cut with a Divinity Designs Pierced Rectangle Die.  

A few enamel dots finish this fun card.  

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week!

Christmas Holly

 Hi Friends! 

Christmas in July!  It is stretch for me to make Christmas cards before autumn, but as it is July, I thought I would crank one or two out.  

I used a couple of my favorite Christmas sets from SnSS (now known as Creative Worship Stamps).  I used the Holly Christmas and Christmas Pine Stamp Sets for this card.  I also used the Diamond Tile Stencil.  

The images were colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I used some Festive Berries Distress Ink with the stencil for my background panel.  I spattered a bit of water on the background as well as some white paint for a bit of a distressed look.  The sentiment was stamped and the card assembled.  As per usual, a few SSS Moonshine Sequins finish the card.
