Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD15), TSTR21, and ODBDSLC23!

It is time for Stamping In Time on Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD15)! The assignment is ODBD stamps. It is time for another challenge! The assignment is ODBD stamps. The challenge is use your favorite "go to" sketch! This is your never fail-need a card fast kind of sketch. By sharing your "go to" sketch we can all collect a selection of wonderful sketches! Have fun with this one! Your card will be enough no drawings necessary! We would love to collect your sketch and see what you create using Our Daily Bread Design stamps!

This card is also for The Shabby Tea Rooms Inspiration Challenge(TSTR21)!   I stayed with the same color scheme of soft yellows and blues, and added a smokey gray because of the fence behind the home.  For my card, I am using ODBD  Jesus, and  Scripture Collection 3  stamp sets.    I stamped the the image of Jesus using so saffron.  I then stamped the scripture in smokey shadow over top.    I layered square and oval spellbinders nestabilities.  This is pretty much my "go to" sketch!  A 5.5 square card.  I did try to make it an A2, but it was not working for me so I started over.  I do vary the focal image a bit from time to time.  This time it is an offset oval in a square. I am using two different cuttlebug embossing folders.   The top one is one of the newer 5X7 sizes! This card is also for ODBD Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC23)!  Ribbon, charm, plus one other embellishment.  I chose pearls!    The double heart charm was a gift of charms given to me by America!  Thanks so much!        

Edited:  I edited my card and added a pinned on charm.  I did not like the way it was just stuck to the ribbon with the silver pearl on top.  My initial thought was to pin it on, but decided against it.  Once I saw today's SCS Ways to Use it Challenge(WT282), I decided I should do it that way.  Here is a small picture of the  redo.  If you want to see the same card in full check it out here.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC48) and SCS CC252!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC48)! This week Maki Jones is our challenge host. Maki is challenging us to a color challenge. Maki is giving us two colors and we have to choose one. Sort of like a 2 +1 color combo. The colors are black and yellow plus another color of your choice! Have fun playing along with us. We look forward to seeing what you create!


I decided to create a collage double tag design. I may make this a bookmark instead, though. I love the way it turned out. I am using Flourishes Damask Background, Spring Ephemerals, Sweet Peas, and Seasonal Wreaths stamp sets. I chose the black and yellow with the third color being red. Can never go wrong with red, black, and yellow!



I shadow stamped the main bleeding hearts image in red. I stamped off a couple of times and thumped the damask background. I added script sentiment from Sweet Peas randomly. I finished with Thanks from the Seasonal Wreaths set.

This card is for today's SCS Color Combo Challenge(CC252)!

Bermuda Celery Hunters!

Bermuda Bay, Certainly Celery, and Handsome Hunter. This week's dessert option is to use pink in any form other than cardstock.

I am using Flourishes Summer Blossoms and Strawberries stamp sets. For this card, I chose to sponge over a subtle textured sizzix plate. I rocked and rolled the leafy stem in spring moss, handsome hunter, and pool inks. If you look closely, you can see all three hues as well as a blending of these colors. I used dp to punch flowers to add to the stem. I finished the flower with tiny silver pearls. I layered a button ribbon detailing and added a MS butterfly to complete my card. I think it is rather simple in design, but I do love how it turned out.
