Today's card image is Sara Kay with her dog. Copic markers used on dress were B000 and B37. Used the B000 to pick up color from the tip of B37 for shadows. Apron was done with G40 and G24. Skin E00 and E02. Used Petite oval & scallop oval nestabilities.

Vines & Birds

Today's post is made using the Flourishes stamps set Birds and Vine and Timeless Quotes and Wordsworth Comfort Verse. I stamped the vines using Memento Bamboo ink and CTMH Hydrangea. I used Liquid Pearls on the Queen Ann's Lace. The cards below were made to send out to the sick people in our church.

My friend came by last week and asked for assistance and an idea to use for some cards she was making for a member of her church. I gave her some ideas and loaned her a few supplies and stamps to use. Below is her creation. The saying on the card is from the elderly church member who has been sending cards to her church members through out her life.



Col. 1:15-17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation; because by Him everything was created, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together.

Several months ago I found a card on ODBD website and wanted to make one like it. I already had the On Eagles Wings stamp set and was waiting for the right opportunity to make the card. Last Friday a friend and I set out to create the card. Our's is very similar but we didn't have all the stamps that were originally used. I used a leaf from a SU celebration set to stamp on the scrapbook paper I used for the circles. Cut the circles with Nestabilities and then cut them in Half. We used CTMH - Honey ink and SU Pumpkin Pie ink to sponge in colors. The eagle was colored with Copic markers E31,E35, E37. I created a mask for this one and sponged the colors around the eagle. An alternate way would be to clear emboss over the eagle and then apply the sponged on colors.

Recently Flourishes had a new stamp set come out called Patriotism on Parade I thought the bunting from this set would look great with this Eagle. I used SU- Night of Navy base card stock and Real Red. Stamped the bunting on Classic Crest cardstock and used Copic B37 and R46 to color in the image. Added star brads to the corners. Red cardstock was put sthrough a cuttlebug folder for texture.


I really like the way this card turned out.

This is another card I made using the Peacock from Impression Obsession. This card was featured last week on their Blog. I was thrilled to see it posted on their website. So cool!!
