A Romans 8:28 Birthday Card

Good Morning everyone! May the blessings of our loving God be with you all. Yes, it's 5am here in Sydney and am currently awake (isn't it obvious? lol!) as my hubby just left for his work. So, before going back to bed, I decided to post the card that I made last night. This is a card requested by churchmate to be given on someone's birthday. She told me to use a colour yellow and because she wanted it to be lively-looking and a bit bright.

And so, I went for SU! Summer Sun which, I believe, fits the description of lively and a bit bright. I then asked her for another colour to combine yellow with but she left it all up to me. :D

Here's what I came up with:

A combination of Summer Sun and a Turquoise (?) coloured cs!! I just love how this turquoise cs made the yellow pop out! And the paper of course if from the yummy Basic Grey Urban Prairie collection.

I stamped the image onto Whisper White with my Versafine Onyx Black and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then sponged around it with Summer Sun ink using a dauber carefully doing it so as to make the sponging soft-looking. Did you know that I normally use cosmetic sponge whenever I do sponging? Well, this time I used a dauber (which I bought the other day at Big W). I tell you, the result is very different and I feel like I can control my sponging with a dauber than with the cosmetic sponge. :D

Here's a close up of the verse. I used my ODBD Scripture Collection 2 (Romans 8:28) for this. And the verse is just really true...

Let me know what you think by dropping me a comment when you visit so I can also know that you've been here.

God bless us all and be safe always!

ALTERED CADDIES

Hello everyone!! I missed you all! How's life keepin' you? Hope everything's doing well. I have been quite a busy bee altering caddies these past few days. And since I've done 2 so far (and still have quite few to finish), I want to share it with you.

First, I want you to see the caddy at its raw state:


And here are the altered ones:

The first was one was given to a churchmate/friend and I asked her for her colour preferences. She said she wanted earth colours so I went for brown (my fav!) and a teal/turqouise combo. The dp I used was really yummy (just like Basic Grey, LOL!), and these are from Chatterbox.

The 2nd caddy is for our wedding godmother who will be celebrating her birthday on the 28th of this month. The papers used here are from Heidi Grace and Basic Grey (where I stamped the bible verse on). I used ODBD Scripture Collection 1 & 2 for both caddies and I also heat-embossed them with clear ep. Flowers and buttons were added to jazz it up more.

OK...so what do you think? Any reaction? :D

Have to go for now...I'll be posting my finished cards later.

Thanks for the visit and have a blessed day!

Hugs to you all,

JHET

LSC229 My Wedding Colours

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! First, I would like to thank God for this wonderful day that He has blessed me. For last night as well as I was able to share the book of Hosea during our Bible study. It was a very wonderful book and I highly recommend that you read it because it speaks about love and redemption...the everlasting love of our God.

I've just finished my card for the LSC229 over SCS. In this challenge you are to use either your wedding colours or your high school colours; and use any clips or photo turners. In my case, I chose my wedding colours not only that they're my favourite (remember brown?) but I still have some of the very materials that I used when I made our invites.

Here's my card:

These really were our wedding colours and if you want to see my evidence (LOL!) you can check out this previous POST of mine where I posted my wedding stuffs.

The stamp that I used is from Darkroom Door Essentials2 Collection. I stamped it twice onto Very Vanilla cs, went over it with my Aqua brush to put some intensity and a bit of shading on the colours and went over some parts of the flowers with my orange Copic Spica glitter pen.

Here's a closer shot:

And since we are to use any clips and I don't have any special clips here, I then used a regular paper clip and tied my chocolate-coloured ribbon around it (which is also the same ribbon I used on my wedding). The pearlescent cs was embossed using Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder. I love the effect! The sentiment on the other hand is also from the same stamp set and was die cut using my Shapeabilities Daisy Heads (the leaf part).

What do you think?

Thanks for looking and have a blessed and lovely day wherever you are.

HUGS,

LSC229 My Wedding Colours

Quick Post {Wedding Card}

Hello everybody! I know it's been awhile and this one's just a quick post for now. I just want to share with you a wedding card I made as requested by a friend.

She didn't give me any colours so I called the shot for this. :) I just want the Groovy Guava to show a little so that the emphasis will remain on the white colour. I stamped the image using Groovy Guava ink and heat-embossed it with clear ep. The rest is self-explanatory.

Got to go now. My Hosea sharing for last week was cancelled as many church members were sick so I will be sharing tonight instead.

Thanks and have a blessed day!

Requested Card for 90th Birthday

Hi fellow stampers and bloggers! I've just finished a card which was a requested one for a 90th birthday. Wow! 90th!! She's blessed with a very long life...and I believe a fruitful one, too. :)

My colours are from the retired In-Color range (retired here in Australia) which is Purely Pomegranate and River Rock. I stamped the verse from Scripture Collection 1 of Our Daily Bread Designs onto Very Vanilla using Purely Pomegranate ink and heat-embossed with clear embossing powder. I sponged some light Hero Arts background ink to the edges of the circle Nestabilities. I like this bible verse...such an encouraging one. :)


The horizontal panel was Cuttlebug-embossed using Divine Swirl and the dp is from my stash. Well, I actually got this dp from a seller who gave me a couple of these dps along with my order as freebies. I used my ticket corner punch and finished off the card by putting Kaiser pearls in Plum.

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope the birthday celebrant will like this.

God bless us all!

Requested Card for 90th Birthday

More Tilda Cards

Hi everyone! Hope all of you are doing very fine upon visiting my blog. My 2 kids got sick with flu and hubby isn't feeling well atm. DS2 Jared is actually well now and ready to go back to school tomorrow but my little Jhetro is still sick. He's got cough and colds along with fever. We actually brought him to the doctor this afternoon and we're told to just continue with the paracetamol we're administering to him.

These 2 Tilda cards were created last weekend. My kids were sick and it was very calm and silent in the house, they're just resting in their beds and somehow I was able to make cards while looking after them. But I'd rather make cards while they're running around the house than seeing them just lying in bed and sick. :(

The first Tilda is a birthday card for my niece who will be turning 11 this July 9. I used a RAK image of Valentine Tilda from Bec. Tilda is originally holding a heart image but I decided to cover it with a paper rose instead. I poked a hole on the heart image using my paper piercer then adhered the paper rose. The rose was actually white but I just coloured it with the same blue marker I used with Tilda's jumper. The markers that I used with this one is Bic Mark-It but I used Copics to colour her face, skin and hair.


The next card is just an everyday card. I coloured Tilda with Copic markers and made her brunette again. LOL! I think she looks cuter in brunette. Don't you think so? I used a background ink from Hero Arts to stamp my flowers (behind the sentiment) which is a stamp from Darkroom Door Essentials 2 Collection. I then stamped the sentiment onto it using my Darkroom Door -Melody from their Music Collection. I believe the image and the sentiment fit perfectly well. :)

The bench where Tilda sits on was made using the Spellbinders bracket. I just embossed it using Cuttlebug embossing folder to add an effect. The rest is self explanatory.

Okay, have to study and do some writings now as I will be sharing about the prophet Hosea this coming Friday for our Bible study. :) I have one requested card to make but apart from that, I won't be making any cards not until I'm done with my Hosea report. :)

Thanks for visiting and pls pray for my darling son Jhetro for him to get well soon.

God bless us all!

TWO CARDS for WT225 {Corrugated Board} and Copic Creations Challenge

Happy Friday everyone! We're having a wind blowing so strong here atm and it's sooooo cold!!!! It's Friday and it's our Bible study day but we will not be able to attend tonight because my 2 sons are having fever and hubby isn't feeling well, too. DS1 Jared has been sick since Wed night while Jhetro started with the fever last night. I know it's the time of the year here when flu is just around every corner. I had Jared checked last night by the doctor 'coz I was worried about the swine flu going around but we were assured that he isn't on a high risk status and true indeed that flu is very common especially this winter. WE just pray that these 2 gorgeous kids of mine will feel better soon. It's hard when someone is sick in the family, let alone the 2 kids.

Anyways, on to the card that I made. The WT225 challenge over SCS is to use a corrugated board on your card. This first card that I'm going to show to you was the one I made last night. I used the Darkroom Door flower from Full Bloom Collection on this one.

I cut the corrugated board using my Labels 1 then inked the edges with Old Olive and alternately inked the raised part of the board. I then directly stamped my sentiment (Clearly Wordsworth) onto my card base, stamped my image onto a Kraft stash, coloured with Purely Pomegranate ink using my Aqua pen, cut it out then adhered it to the corrugated board using pop dots. Well, I've been experiencing some "firsts" lately with regards to stamping and cardmaking. :) In this card, it's my first time to colour an image using the ink itself with the Aqua pen/brush. I haven't done that before and I liked how it turned out! I'm sure a lot of you had done it a lot of times but for me, it's my first! LOL!

Anyway, I enjoyed this particular challenge that's why I made another card for it!! This time I used Tilda which is another RAK image from Bec. This is also my very first participation to the Copic Creations Challenge! Yay! And this week's challenge is "Brunette Hair!" To make the story short, I coloured Tilda's hair to make it look brunette. :)

Check it out:
I'm not really good in using Copics and I've just a few numbers of it atm. But with this one, I tried to blend similar colours together. I found out that I have 4 colours that are closely related to each other (a pair each) and so I tried blending them and it somehow turned okay.

The flowers were all white and I just coloured them with the same colours that I used with Tilda to complement each other. That comes so handy, eh? I made Tilda sit onto the ...fence (?)...or this maybe a sort of a hill, LOL! Not sure though, but the most important thing there is that she's sitting onto something! hahaha! I inked the edges if of the corrugated board with Choc Chip and put some flowers here and there. I used random sizes of flowers as well as random sizes of the Kaiser pearl in chocolate.

Here's a closer look at Tilda :

I went over Tilda's wings and the flowers with Copic Spica glitter pen (clear) but it's not very obvious in the photos taken, but looks real good IRL.

So, what do you think? :D

Gotta make some dinner now. I'll try my best to make another card tonight with the limited supply challenge for this week.

Have a blessed day to y'all!

Hugs,
