Faithfulness, Mercy, and Love!

It is a rainy cloud cover Sunday here in Eastern North Carolina! A great day for crafting! I made a card today using some new papers, new dies, and new stamps! Triple the fun! I am using ODBD newly released Tiger Lily set along with Randi's Song stamp set. I am playing along with ODBD Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC77) to use fall colors or a fall theme. I am also playing ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD43) real or faux stitching.

I layered some Spellbinder's dies with the Cheery Lynn Kiwi doily die. However, for the doily die I chose to die cut it without all the cuttings coming out. If you choose not to use the metal shim. This way I get a solid image that has embossed cut areas. I love this look, too! I am using new Prima Romantique designer paper. I finished with some sewing machine stitching, lace, ink distressing, gold pearls, and seam binding bow with gold memory thread.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
