Sing Forth His Name Card

This card would have been quick except for the sentiment. I used microsoft word and it took me a while to figure out how to get the layers to print right so you could read the brown type well. I used my Big Bite again and I love it. I like it so much better than the Cropadile.

Twinkling H2Os Scripture Card

This was made for several challenges at SCS. I love using the H2Os. I am so sad they are going OOB since I just discovered how much I like using them. I love tulips (and almost every other flower) and was inspired by several of Glenda Mosher's beautiful paintings. I have been waiting to use this stamp for something so the SCS inspiration challenge today gave me a chance.

Color Challenge Birthday Card

I am making some card for my Mom to give to her friends from Sunday School. This one is for the weekly color challenge and a sketch challenge at SCS. My computer font is by Creating Keepsakes and is called Society. I like it because it looks like old Valentines and birthday cards.

Accessories: Nestabilities, Dew Drops, Dimensionals

Techniques: Watercolor with ink

Baby Boy Card

I made this card for my son's Youth Pastor and his wife for their shower. I used the Nestabilities die for a stencil and sponged around the edge. I also used dimensionals to give the card some depth. These may be my 2 new favorite techniques or embellishments. I am fickle though. I will have a new favorite soon :-)

Stamps: Brides and Babies

Paper: Baby print dp, Sage Shadow, Bashful Blue, Barely Banana

Ink: Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Blush Blossom, Black

Accessories: Dimensionals, Nestabilities, rickrack, thread

Sticker Challenge Birthday Card

For this challenge at SCS you were supposed to use a sticker. The large shoe is a sticker I got for scrapbooking. The sentiment is computer generated so there are actually no stamps used on this card. The dp is Basic Gray Scarlet's Letter and Bo Bunny. The black rhinestones are by Kaiser. I used the SU Top Note die and Nestabilities. The shoe is mounted to cardstock and then dimensionals. The sentiment was from an old postcard to match the shoe.
