A post today with a card for two challenges,
Etsy Inspired (#114) and
Stampin' Sisters in Christ (#65). When I saw the Etsy inspiration store,
Happy Day Designs, and all the beautiful necklaces and bracelets she had I knew I would be doing another CAS card for the challenge. I browsed the site for a bit and decided on this necklace for my inspiration (see photo). The beautiful green of the necklace immediately made me think of the Hero Arts cling, Wreath of Leaves and Stampin Up!'s Kiwi Kiss.
Then I checked SSCC to see what would be the new challenge.
Grace set the challenge based on this verse from John 3:30: "He must become greater; I must be come less". Interestingly, I had read that verse earlier this past week from a book on parenting. The challenge is to make either a CAS card (signifying me becoming less); a more is more card (signifying Jesus becoming more) or a CAS version and a more is more version of the same card. I chose, obviously, to go with the CAS card. The card base is a 4.5" x 4.5" square cut from Kiwi Kiss cardstock. I cut a 4"x4" square of white cardstock and stamped the Wreath of Leaves using Kiwi Kiss ink. Some Hero Arts flower gems were added along with a bow tied from PTI's Simply Chartruse (a good match to Kiwi Kiss) and I was done.
Thanks for taking a peek... hope you had a good weekend.
Supplies: Cardstock: Stampin Up! Kiwi Kiss; PTI White; Ink: Kiwi Kiss; Stamps: Hero Arts Wreath of Leaves; Gems: Hero Arts; Ribbon: PTI Simply Chartruse double stitched.
