Seeing Psalm 57

1/11/2019

Looks like a frame-up going on over at As You See It #191 this week!
More wide open space to show off pretty DSP - this time I pulled out my shimmery Frosted Floral - love the washes of color in this one! The sketch called for a nice wide border as well, so I had some fun with the coordinating colors today. It also seemed like a good chance to try out my new God Verses 2 from Our Daily Bread (shhh!) This quote from Psalm 57 is a good one for me, as it feels like there have been so many losses for our family to kick off the new year - solace in prayer is getting me through...

The Sisterhood of Crafters' challenge to use stitched dies is RIGHT up my alley - I think I use these every day!
I decided to go for another scripture card today - my collection is getting pretty thin, shh! I have a new set from Our Daily Bread Designs that I decided to get inky today - and perfectly sized for my beloved Stitched Shapes framelits, lol. I've been really loving the scripture paired with the gorgeous pearly Frosted Floral papers, so I pulled a new sheet today to set off my Psalm! So happy to have a more lovely words to live by!

Time for another lovely landscape card at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #387!
I knew I wanted to bring on some gorgeous DSP for this one, and of course that means my Frosted Floral pack! This woodsy colored sheet with just a touch of shimmer is another fave from this set, and I love the watercolor look, too. The delicate images made me think of another scripture collection, and this one from 1 Peter from Our Daily Bread's Scripture Series 3 was just right. So many great reminders in these collections!
So, what did YOU come up with? I can't wait to see over at the challenge!

Try Psalm 138

We're feeling festive this week at Try Stampin on Tuesday #386!
I saw our nice open space this week as a primo chance for a bold scripture card - I love this line from Psalm 138, and I find it always bears repeating (or is that reminding??) I decided to play with some pretty DSP to go with, and I love the colors in these sheets from the Share What You Love pack - can't go wrong with the pretty purple stripes, lol. Some delicate flowers, some layering circles, and this beauty is ready to go!
I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you over at the challenge!

Holy smokes - you've GOT to check out this new challenge I just found: The Library Craft Challenge #14 - a card makers' challenge inspired by BOOK COVERS!! BRILLIANT! I can't wait to play, kicking it off with the cover of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou - not a light read, either, lol.
I started by scoping out my bird sets, but I didn't feel quite right about doing something cutesy. In the end I remembered my silhouette birds from High Tide, and went hunting for a possible scripture to go with. I think of Angelou as such a strong personality - I think Psalm 34 is a good match for her - and the strong details of her story... What a start to this challenge for me, lol.

Stampin' Psalm 84

Yay! It's time for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #375 - a super sketch!
For once, I'm sticking with a shape suggested on the sketch - something I NEVER do, lol. But, you know, I had a little idea - I had our cool new "mini" backgrounds set, Bokeh Dots, still waiting for some ink, and one of the patterns is this kind of "cosmic stardust" thing - wouldn't that look cool in stars? Had to give it a go - I do like it, though the detail is a bit hard to see - I tried to help it along with a bit of sponging around the edges. I need to try this one in some BRIGHT colors, too! And it turns out, I have a sweet little piece of scripture to go with - we're basking in the Son today!
Can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you at the challenge!

Totally adorable inspiration pic at this week's Fusion Easter Bunny challenge!
I was really stumped on this one for a while - I really didn't do much for Easter this year, sigh. I finally settled on the colors, and the general Spring theme, and of course the funky sketch! I was all abut the papers for this one - a quick search pulled up Sweet Soiree for the pinks, and after discovering I pretty much have NO Pear Pizzazz DSP scrap of any kind (sigh), I went with my old fave Chocolate Chip dots from the 2010-13 stack - so yummy, lol. I pulled out my Hold on to Hope set for the sentiment, and added a few more details from that to finish it off. Here's my cheater tip on two-color stamping: Pick a light and a dark color scheme, ink up the whole stamp in the lighter color (in my case the Pear Pizzazz) then go over your details of choice in a darker marker (Chocolate Chip for me)- it won't ruin your marker so long as you only go over something lighter with it, and you can always check it on paper scraps after, too. Easy peasy!

It's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #361 time! Check out our fun sketch this week! I'm adding in these calm colors from As You See It #172, too...
GOODNESS, it's been a long time since I did a scripture card - and when I saw these colors and that lovely long column on our sketch, I decided today was the day! I kept this card very sketch-literal, and fairly unfussy, though I'm wondering if that really a good way to look at it with my Perfect Accents and ribbon, lol. I stewed for a short time about having no neutrals embellies before I remembered: Perfect White Accents plus Smoky Slate Blend equals Smoky Slate Enamel Shapes, lol. Whew, save by the Blend!
See you over at TSOT - I love to see your creativity!

11 Timothy Throwdown

Lots of play room in this week's Freshly Made Sketch #319! It should look awesome in these fun colors from Color Throwdown #475, too!
I couldn't resist the notion of a scripture "throwdown," lol, so we're having a little 11 Timothy 1 today! The card came out exactly how I pictured, with a large sentiment holding down the floating panel, and a bit of Flourish Thinlit detail at the top, all over a light pink floral background. I wasn't able to get quite as off-center as I hoped, but it's still just how I imagined! I even got on a little sparkle, which wasn't in the original plan!

Just Add Psalm 91

Just Add Ink #391 has an intriguing challenge this week - just choose two, of twine, trees or tags. Cool!
So, I started out by thinking I'd try NOT to make a Christmas card today, AND, it's been ages since I used our longest-running set Lovely As a Tree. Today's the day! I paired it with this lovely Psalm 91 sentiment from Our Daily Bread Scripture Collection 2 - seems perfect to go with our mighty oak! A touch of twine, and I'm all set!
