Rejoice!!!



This card is for today's Feature Stamper Challenge(FS138)! Congratulations, Nancy!!! What an amazing gallery. Literally thousands of cards to choose from. Here is the one I chose to CASE.

I am using two sets that will be released October 1st from ODBD called With Heartfelt Sympathy and With Deepest Sympathy.

  • I kept the basic layout and design and even made my card base the same. I did choose to use soft suede instead of chocolate chip as my colors.
  • I kept the lightly stamped background panel even though I used a different image. Same for the cattails and scripture on my card.
  • Instead of using gold pen around the edges, I opted for a soft suede base for my card and used some small gold pearls in the corners along with some stenciling. I finished with one band of ribbon and a bow instead of three bands of ribbon like Nancy.

    I must say this was the fastest card I have ever made. It is also very CAS for me.

    As always, thanks so much for stopping by!!!

  3. Betty, I love the sponging! I need to learn how to be patient and have a light hand when doing this. It looks so fabulous on the Labels dies. The sentiment is so comforting...one of my favourites from the bible. And your ribbon is delicious. Thanks for the comment on my Mercy's Challenge card. The ribbon I used is a very close match to PTI's aquamist but I got it at Michaels in the ribbon aisle. It's from the Celebrate It line and is very soft and wonderful to work with :)
