Christyne!! I have two cards to share today. Another card using the
Just Breathe set and a card that uses the newly released
Plain Jane Psalm 150:6 and the
Good Work stamps set and
matching dies. First up is my card using
Just Breathe. A My Mind's Eye My Store journal card was the starting point for this card. I picked one that had a heart shaped opening. After die cutting my cardstock panel I placed the card where I wanted it and then stamped the word 'hope' inside. The journal card was then adhered using foam dimensionals. The little ribbon from Just Breathe was stamped on some coordinating paper using rose red ink, trimmed out and placed as you see. I finished things off with a scattering of sequins from the newly released
Verve Frosted Snowfall sequin mix. I will also be posting this to the current
CASology challenge: Heart.
For the second card I went in a different direction and did some layering and ink distressing. The layout for the card is based on the
Viva La Verve week 4 sketch. After die cutting my circles from some My Mind's Eye Indie Chic patterned papers I adhered them to a white cardstock panel and then die cut the panel with a rectangle die for a more clean and finished look. The panel was then inked with Ranger Old Paper and Tea Dye inks. Another circle was die cut from coordinating paper, stamped with the
Plain Jane and the edges inked. Some pale green ribbon was added and then I adhered the center circle. The flowers from the
Good Work set were stamped in a light brown ink, die cut and then inked. The leaves were stamped in a mossy green ink, trimmed out and inked, as well. All the pieces were then adhered per the sketch. I finished with some Ice Stickles to the center of each flower. Your next stop on the hop is the amazingly talented
Lori!!! Below is a list of everyone on the hop.
Thanks for stopping by today... and don't forget you still have a chance to win a $30.00 gift certificate to the Verve store when you comment on this
