Hope! Mojo Sketch, Moxie Fab, and MORE!



Happy Saturday!  I have a Verve card  to share today using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch 207.  For my card, I am using Verve's Sunny Days, Swan Song, and Hope Perches Plain Jane stamp sets.   I layered some My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Collection designer papers for each of the panels and the background.  I stitched and ink distressed.  I used the smaller sprig image from the Sunny Days set along with Verve's Leafy Sprigs die.    I layered a couple Spellbinder's petite ovals for the focal image and quote.  I added my bow and a few touches of buttons to finish the card.  I must admit that this sketch was a bit tricky for me.  I had to position the front panel so that my birds and pennants still showed on the skewed panels. 

 This card is also for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge.  I used the same colors, but focused on different values of the shades.  I added buttons, pennant, stitching, and birds along with different patterns and textures.  




As always thanks so much for stopping by!



I am playing along with a few other blog challenges as well!

Your In My Thoughts! Viva La Verve and MORE!





Happy Sunday!  I spent some time in my craft room cleaning yesterday.  It is a never ending job.  Funny thing is, once it is cleaned I feel like stamping so another crafty mess.  A vicious cycle. All be it a fun one.  

This card is for VLV Week 2 Sketch Challenge.   Amy Sheffer is the host this week.  Fun sketch, Amy!   For my card I am using Verve's  Forever in Our Hearts, Amazing Wishes, and Tag Time stamp sets.  I am also using Verve's Tiny Sweet Scallop dies.


I combined these sets with my new Prima Printery paper pack. I stamped the main image and added a few touches ebony glitter. I stitched and ink distressed the panels.  I added a flower with some precut text leaves that I vintaged up a bit.   I finished with a flower, layered tags, memory thread bow, and black gems.


As always thanks so much for stopping by!

ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD41) and MORE!




 
It is time for ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD41)! The assignment is to use Our Daily Bread Design stamps.  The challenge this rotation is embossing! Use dry or heat embossing on your cards/projects. 

For my card I am using ODBD Children of God and Mini Tags 2 stamp sets.  I believe this image and sentiment really says it all.     I just really need to get back to the foundation of it all.  "Jesus Loves  Me!"     So simple, but there is power in those words.    It is not just a matter of saying the words, but really believing them. WOW!    

As for the details of my card, I embossed the focal image using versamark and black embossing powder.  I textured the back panel with a cuttlebug folder and a SU tulip frame folder.  I ink distressed the edges.  I layered a few Spellbinders and finished with a touch of lace and a dyed seam binding bow.

Check out the card Lori Ulrich  made with the embossing challenge!
