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!
