The Goodness of the Lord w/Creative Worship

Welcome by, everyone.  This is a card that I created for Creative Worship Stamps and that I shared on Instagram.  I forgot, however, to post it here on my blog.  Today I'm sharing it here, and I do apologize if you've already seen it (and possibly already commenting on it) over there.  Nonetheless, I love having you visit me and I'll very much appreciate your comments and thoughts on it here as well.  Having you visit and take any interest in my art whatsoever is a blessing to me that I'm incredibly grateful for, and I hope you know that.

I used a pretty patterned paper from The Craft Consortium and some basic ivory cardstock.  I stamped the image using the Stamp of the Month called Finch Collage Stamp.  This lovely stamp can be yours for FREE this month with any $75+ purchase at Creative Worship Stamps.  I cut the image using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  You can manipulate these dies to cut where you need them regardless of their actual size.  They're truly awesome and I use them a lot.

The sentiment was stamped using one of the beautiful sentiments found in the NEW Goodness of God Stamp Set.  I also used the NEW Damask Pattern Stencil to first stencil the background for my sentiment.  Finally, I cut the sentiment using the NEW Stitched Tags Dies.  I attached some pretty Seam Binding and placed the sentiment on my card at a slight angle.

Whatever you're creating, I'm looking forward to seeing it.  It's always so nice when you leave me a little note letting me know what you've made and where I can view it.  You all encourage and inspire me so much.  I'm excited to see your creations, too.  Have a super fun, super creative and super amazing week.

I'm sharing my card in the following FUN challenges:

The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog - Challenge #83/March - Inspired by all the GREEN in this fun photo.

Cut It Up Challenge Blog - Challenge #352 - Forever Green - I couldn't resist sharing my green card.  I used several die-cuts that are all listed and linked above.

Be Blessed w/Creative Worship Stamps

I'm so glad to have you stop by my blog to visit me and say hello.  Today I'm sharing another card that features the beautiful Stamp of the Month from Creative Worship Stamps.  You can get this lovely Wonderful Words of Life Stamp Set for FREE with your $75 purchase.  Why not stock up on some Tim Holtz Oxide Ink Pads and Sprays and possibly a few new stamp sets?  It's a great time to restock some of those products and pick up a FREE gift (and gorgeous one at that) in the process?  Go ahead....you've earned it.

I used Natural White 100lb. Cardstock from CutCardStock for my base as well as for each layer.  The first layer is plain, the second layer was stencilled using the Oval Mesh Stencil and the Jumbled Diamonds Stencil from Creative Worship Stamps.  Next, I stamped the scribbly words found in the Peaceful Botanicals Stamp Set using Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink.  And then, I sprayed it with Peeled Paint Distress Spray.

The top (third) layer of cardstock was stamped with gold ink using the gorgeous NEW Stamp of the Month I mentioned above.  It's called, obviously, Wonderful Words of Life Stamp Set and it's so very pretty.  The last things I did was stamp the sentiment (be blessed) using the Typed Thoughts Stamp Set which offers a coordinating set of Typed Thoughts Dies.  How perfect.  A piece of pretty Seam Binding was the finishing touch.

You know how some cards are just SO much prettier in real life?  Well, this is one of those cards.  These photos don't really show how pretty the Wonderful Words of Life stamp shimmers in gold ink.  You also can't really see all the amazing texture or the glimmer of the Winsor & Newton Gold Ink I added.  I will tell you this, however......you'll always find gorgeous stamps, dies, stencils, inks and more when you shop at Creative Worship Stamps.

It's like I mentioned above, this is a great time to stock up because you can get this beautiful Wonderful Words of Life Stamp Set for FREE with your $75 purchase.  Thanks again for visiting me here today, friends.  I'm so grateful for you.  Have a wonderfully creative week, and I'll be looking for you out there in social media land.

Here's where I'm sharing my card:

Inspiration Station Challenges - Challenge #82 - Photo Prompt (see below) - I was inspired by the softness of this photo, and I also wanted to pull in the soft pinks and the light, airy, Spring feeling this photo gives.

Stencil Fun Challenge Blog - February: Anything Goes/Create Your Own Background - I did create my background by using two different stencils (listed and linked above) as well as by adding inks, ink sprays and stamping.

The Paper Funday Challenge Blog - February: Anything Goes/Optional Pastels - I did use pastels on this card.  I wanted to keep it very soft and pretty.
