All right, are you ready to see what I came up with? I have to tell you, I had tons of brads and eyelets, but I gave most of those to my oldest DD, who is 9 y.o. and loves card making almost as much as her mommy ;D;D, but I also had A TON of buttons. I very, very rarely use buttons on my cards, ever so often when I made a masculine one, so I got my bag of PTI buttons out and went for it,hehe. Wanna see?

My version of this weeks challenge is VERY CAS, yes, very Clean And Simple. You all know how much I love embellishments of any kind and for me the rule is usually "the more the better" ;D, so this weeks challenge was a challenge indeed for me,LOL!!



Are you ready?




Psalm 34:4









Recipe:

Paper: PTI Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream, Basic Grey Wisteria

Stamps: ODBD Scripture Series 1 Psalm 34:4

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Tea Dye

Accessories: Nesties Classic Cirlce Large, Classic Scalloped Circle Large, brown grosgrain ribbon 7/8" wide, antique brass cross charm I found while on vacation at Hobby Lobby for 50% off......SCORE!!!!
hand dyed Dew Drops

What do you think? I tell you, it was hard not putting any flowers on my card, but I am happy with the way it turned out. I think this card could easily pass as a masculine card or for someone that does not like a lot of embellishments ;D.

Would you like to see what the rest of the Challenge Team whipped up? Here are the links to my ever so talented sisters in Christ

Well, this is it for me for today, my girls have a Birthday Pool Party to go to (I hope and pray the weather holds up, we are supposed to have a 60% chance of rain, yikes) .

Before you leave I'd love to hear what you think about my card. Your comments mean a lot to me and surely keep me going :D.

Have a blessed and very creative weekend!!!

Hugs,

Happy Wednesday....

my stamping friends!!! As promised yesterday I will be showing you a few more cards over the next days that I have been working on. Today I have 2 for you...one masculine one and one with one of the new Anniversary Scripture Collection 4!!! If you have not yet seen those 2 new Scripture Collection Sets, you are missing out!!!


All right, let's get started and see what you think about the masculine card


For God so loved the world....


Recipe:


Paper: PTI Kraft, Dark Chocolate

Stamps: ODBD He is Risen

Ink: VersaMark, Chocolate Brown embossing powder, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Tea Dye (for the cross and the sponging of the edges)

Accessories: Nesties Large Deckled Rectangles, Jute Rick-Rack, antique copper hardware, Cuttlebug embossing folder Forest Branches

Yep, it is a pretty plain card but I thought it would be nice to make a card for my Pastor for Easter that does not scream flowers and over the top embellishments,LOL!! What do you think...does it work?

Now on to my second card...this one is more the traditional "Sabrina" card....with the works,LOL!!

Psalm 62:1-2

Recipe:
Paper: PTI White, Dark Chocolate, Memory Box Frond

Psalm 62:1-2

Ink: SU Chocoloate Chip, SU Mellow Moss

Accessories: Nesties Labels 6, antique brass cross charm, golden cording, Smoke Blue sheer ribbon, EK Success Scroll punch, dark blue Dew Drops, foam tape

I did not add any flowers as this paper is so gorgeous, IMHO, that I did not want to take anything away from it. Wouldn't you agree?

Wow, this was quite the post today, but I hope that I did not bore you too much and that you did find some inspiration.

As always, thank you so very much for taking the time to come and visit me.

I am truly thankful for each and every one of you!!! You my friends make my day very SPECIAL!!!

Hugs and blessings,
