Under the Weather

This weeks Twist of Faith card challenge is piling it on with "Lots of Layers".  That's our theme for this week’s challenge. Our prize is sponsored by Meljens and the winner will receive 4 images!  I am using ‘Sick Little Bear’.  With the change in the weather, I know this card will come in handy.   I love working with My Minds Eye paper’s there are SO many pretty papers to select from.  So I used various papers, hearts, tissue paper with a button on top, bling on top of the lace, flowers on top of the grain ribbon,  brad on top of a doubled matted corner, & matted tag with ribbon.    Don’t forget the "Twist of Faith" you must include a scripture, verse or quote that is encouraging, uplifting or inspiring.

Another MOJO Monday 318

I  love sketch #318 so I created another card using an assortment of products by Michaels on the $2 lane.  It's the Melodies and Lace series.  The chevron and sheet music caught my eye.  The chipboard hearts were also part of the assortment.

Birthday wishes

My dear scrappy friend and sorority sister Rhoda turned 60!!  To wish her a Happy Birthday, I colored this cute image of India Arie in her favorite colors.  The navy flower was added, because her party had a blue jeans theme. My intention was to make a gift card holder for her gift card, but I saw this pretty sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #223 and went for it.   I will definitely use it again.  I am also entering it into Scraps of Color Robert Jackson - Black Girls ROCK challenge.  My friend does ROCK.

In Remembrance

It's Tuesday and time for our Twist of Faith card challenge.  This weeks challenge is "In Remembrance" with the Twist of Faith to include a scripture,  verse or quote that is encouraging, uplifting or inspiring. I'm encouraging my receiver to Keep Looking Up.  When I saw Digi Darla's birdhouse flower pot, I thought about singing birds and pulled out my Martha Stewart punches to create my scene. I pulled out gel pens that I haven't used since I purchased them years ago and colored the image!  My goal was to create a CAS card......well I tried.

This is a close up of the Brown Sugar Sparklyfluff I added to the house to make it look natural and I also added some to the bottom of the grass that I made using my Martha Stewart fringe scissors.

Hope you join us this week.



And the ransom of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness.  Isaiah 35:10

Tag I'm It

Here’s my entry for Verve’s ‘Tag You’re It’ October Diva Dare.  I was inspired with this card by a tutorial from Lawren and Verve's ‘Let It Be’ set .  The adorable image is by Mo's Digital Stamps.  I'm sure I'll use this pattern as an insert in a mini album!

 

Recipe:
Mo Digital image
Bic Mark it markers
Verves stamps - Let It Be
Recollections True & Authentic paper
Webster's pages Your Life.  Beautiful
Ribbon FX  ribbons
Making Memories glittered flourishes

This is the front view with the tag inserted.  The cute image is a mini folded card.  When you open the card there are two inspirational messages. 

 

Do you see the two stamped messages inside?  When you pull back that flap you will see the inside of the card.  The part on the right flaps up (Faith can move mountains) for the inside message of the card.  The black piece with the floral design holds the back of the tag.


 

This is how it looks when the flap is down. That's why I call it my mini inspirational card.  It has so many opportunities to open and be inspired!
