Winter Birds and Bird Feeder

Hi, friends, and welcome back!  I so appreciate your visit.  Today I am sharing a card I made in response to an Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The hostess of the challenge, Stacy (jbgreendawn) provided a wonderful website for the Inspiration Challenge; an ETSY Birdhouse site.  There are so many wonderful items on this site from which to choose as an inspiration piece.  I selected several, started cards, and decided I wanted to browse the site again.  I’m glad I did as I found this beautiful canvas of “Winter Birds and Bird Feeder” that inspired me to draw the scene on my card.

This is my inspiration piece:

This is my card:

John 12:35

“Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Those who walk in the dark do not know where they are going.”

Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers

Hello, friends!  I hope your week has been great thus far.  Today I am sharing with you a card I made yesterday for a color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The hostess’ color combination is Stampin’ Up! colors of Rich Razzleberry, Mango Melody, and Granite Gray and a dessert option to add designer series paper.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers stamp set to create my card and colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers closely related to these colors.

Joshua 1:9:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Key To My Heart Valentine Box

Welcome back, my friends!  I greatly appreciate you stopping by.  I have not posted a project since December 24. and I am finding it difficult to create after the holidays.  My desire has decreased.  Have you experienced this?

To try to get inspired, I am responding to a Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers today.  For the challenge, the hostess selected the Stampin’ Up! colors of Real Red, Powder Pink, and Silver.  She also selected “hearts” as “dessert”.

 

Ephesians 5:1

“ Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”

My friends, this is the fastest card I have ever made and it is a CAS card which is typically not my style!   And fast is not the speed I typically create cards!  I had to pat myself on the back for this accomplishment!   Dancing animated emoticon  (I’m doing the happy dance!)  LOL.

I created the card for today’s Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The hostess for the challenge chose this site from which to draw inspiration.  When I saw this Laced Metal Wall Hanging, I knew it would be my inspiration piece.  My card features Gina K. Designs Whimsical Wildflowers and Heartfelt Creations Heart Dies and Love Banner.

Galatians 4:4

“But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.”

It is with great pleasure that I create this card in honor of this week’s Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers (SCS).  Vicki (Hawaiian) is the Featured Stamper, and she has a remarkable SCS gallery.  Should you check out her gallery, you will notice that she loves to create fairy cards.  Thus, I selected this beautiful fairy card of hers to CASE.

John 14: 23 & 24

“Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching.  My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.  He who does not love me will not obey my teaching.  These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.”
