Magnolia Down Under Challenge #38

HELLO! It's me once again. This is my second post for today so just please scroll down to read the earlier post.

This card is for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge#38 and it's a sketch challenge for this week.

Here's my card:

Honestly, I haven't been creating cards with Tilda on it for the past few months. Which only means that I haven't been using my Copics and Prismacolour pencils for awhile now! So just imagine how hard it was for me to colour her, knowing that I wasn't sure at first if I still know how to use or hold a marker, moreso, a COPIC!!! LOL!!! My hand was trembling, actually. I felt the same feeling when I was just starting with Copics. :)

Anyway, I somehow "survived"! I just hope I was able to justify my colouring with Tilda. I coloured her mostly with Copics but with her hair, it was a combo of Copics then Prismacolor pencil (to achieve shading).

Can you please tell me from what Magnolia collection this Tilda was from? This is just actually a RAK image from an online buddy (sorry, I forgot her name! my bad!). The farm fence that Tilda is sitting on was from High Hopes which I bought from Bec some weeks ago. I did some tweaking on this fence to adjust the height. LOL! I experimented on matting the Labels One with my Scalloped Square Nesties (the largest die) and I liked how it turned out. I did some paper piercing on the sides and a faux stitching with a faux thread using a glitter gel pen. :) Flowers were made using Martha Stewart Cosmos punch and embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots to add effect and was popped-dot for dimension.Sentiment is from AmyR stamps by CC Designs and the tiny bow on top of it is a Carl punch. The lovely dps are from K&Company Charlotte pad (my favourite!). The cardstocks are from SU! Summer Sun and Coredinations cs.

A closer look at the flowers...

Thanks so much and it's time for me to hit the bed now. God bless everyone!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #38

Clean and Simple Card

Happy Tuesday everyone! Wow! It's been almost a week since I last posted here. Hope all is well with you. Life can get so busy at times and I just had that the past few days. I've been trying to do some de-cluttering at home and it seems endless! LOL!!

Anyway, this card is for the SSCC31 challenge and that is to create a clean and simple card. The challenge is based on the Bible verse taken from Psalm 51:7-10 :
"Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."

I have this stamp from Stampabilities since last year but it's only now that it got inked up. I wanted a Vintage clean and simple card, hence I didn't do any colouring and I chose these browny tones. The image was stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia, cut with Labels One and so were the mats. The dp is from K&Company Charlotte pad and the brown cs was embossed using Cuttlebug Script folder. Finished it off with a lovely flower that I got from Bec months ago and a vintage-coloured button.

Thanks for looking! Have a blessed day!

Clean and Simple Card

TRUST IN THE LORD

Hello blogworld! Hope all is well with you. Well, I'm finally done with a card which is supposed to be my entry for the ODBD2AC4 "All Time Favourite ODBD Set" but I came in late!! :( Anyways, I honestly enjoyed making this card because the verse is one of my favourites! And as the saying goes, it's not the destination, but the journey. ;-) I'm sure you all can relate with me.

I stamped my verse onto white cs with Versacolor Turqouise and then stamped a flower image (for a background) using Versacolor Vanilla. I purchased this flower stamp awhile ago from Jemac Rubber Stamps and I couldn't wait to ink it hence, its appearance on this card. LOL! I then cut the stamped verse with Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, and made a frame out of it using the other side of my dp. I adhered the frame using pop dots for dimension. Oh, btw, this gorgeous dsp is from K&Company Charlotte 12x12 pad. Theyre' actually more gorgeous IRL. Here's a closer look to see the dimension..

Instead of a bow, I used flowers instead (for a change). These are just assorted flowers and the one in the middle is actually white. I just sponged some ink on it with the same ink I used with my verse to complement each other.

This is all for now. I hope you had a lovely day if your're in Australia ('coz it's almost Thursday here already) or you're having a lovely day if you belong to the other parts of the world.

God loves you and cares for you, always remember that!

Hugs,

ODBD2AC2 There is A Season for Everything

Whew! This is another rush card!! I was browsing the ODBD Blog when I saw that Mr Linky on Challenge #2 is still open. Here's a very quick card as my entry to the challenge. :)

Will come back for the details later. I need to breathe!!! LOL!!!

ODBD2AC3 Ephesians 2:8

Hi everyone! Here's my take for the ODBD2AC3 challenge! I hope my card will still qualify! I only have 3mins before the challenge closes so I'm really in a rush!!

The challenge is to use Gold and/or Silver. Good thing I still have a piece of this gold cs that I used months ago for a card. I embossed it with Fiskars "Woodgrain" texture plate which I bought yesterday. I used a verse from ODBD Scripture Collection 2, stamped with Versafine and heat-embossed with clear ep. I then cut it in half using Spellbinders Labels One and matted it onto a Real Red cs. Bow was done using Bow Easy. The border in the horizontal panel was punched with Fiskars embossing punch. (sorry I forgot the name, lol!)

Thanks for looking! Now I'm off to have a big brekky! :)

God bless everyone!

SSCC30,CAS58 2 Timothy 1:7

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! I didn't do much around the house today as it's my darling hubby's off and we just enjoyed the day being together. ♥ We went out for a little while and was able to buy myself some Fiskars texture plates that are on special. Nothing beats being with your hubby, I mean having just "us" time.

Anyway, here's my card for today's CAS58 challenge (to use green and brown) and for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge#30 (taken from Psalm 29:11, to make a card using a peaceful image or a verse about peace) I chose 2 Timothy 1:7 because, as being said here that God did not give us a spirit of fear only means that He has given us PEACE instead. I believe there is peace when there is an absence of fear. Amen?

I stamped my verse with Choc Chip and I stamped a background stamp onto it (though you can't see it clearly here) using Versacolor Vanilla. Cut a piece of Wild Wasabi (retired) for my vertical panel, embossed it with Fiskars Texture plate (Leaves), punched both sides with Fiskars Threading Water punch then finished it off with chocolate satin ribbon and bow, with flower and a rhinestone at the center. Clean and simple, quick and easy card!

Thanks for looking and may you all experience God's peace today.

Hugs,

IC223 Thanking God

It's Saturday (which means I don't have to wake up early the next day) that's why I was able to somehow stay up late and played for the Inspiration Challenge223 for this week over SCS.

Stef & Bonnie chose this Warm Biscuit site to get our inspiration from. The beddings are all gorgeous that's why it was so hard to choose. They're all inspiring! Anyways, I chose this pink twin bedding as an inspiration for my card. I used my "new" (well new for me) Martha Stewart Cosmos punch which I bought a couple of weeks ago. I tried to make this card as simple as possible and I used my Clear Dollar Stamps' Christian Tag for my focal image/sentiment.


Thanks so much for the visit. Good night and sweet dreams!
