ODBD My Soul Thirsts Stamp Set

ODBD My Soul Thirsts Stamp Set

Early this week, I prepared a card in response to a Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge. Peggy (pegmac71), the challenge host, brought to us beautiful colors for the Color Challenge, CC588 – A Perfect Smoky Pirouette. The colors she selected are SU Pink Pirouette, Perfect Plum, and Smoky Slate. These are beautiful colors together.

I used two stamp sets on the card:  ODBD My Soul Thirsts Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blooms Stamp Set.  I love the Psalm 42:2 verse included on the card, which is from the ODBD My Soul Thirsts Stamp Set.

For my card, I used several copic sketch markers that are close to the selected colors to color the floral image on the card, which is from the Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blooms Stamp Set. I blended both the pink and plum copic colors on the flowers’ petals and a gray on the leaves. I had not blended the pink and plum copic colors before, and I must say I like the outcome.  This photo provides a closeup of the image.


JUNE 26, 2016 UPDATE:  Card was included in Splitcoaststampers Favorites of the Week.

I must say that I’m enjoying more and more the use of the copic sketch markers.  Learning to create shading and blending takes some time, but it’s worth it.

At the top left of the card (see above photo), I modified a Spellbinders Die to create a corner piece.  I felt the card needed that additional touch.

Enjoy the card and thanks for your comments!

“When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.”  John 16:8-11

SU Birthday Blooms

Hello and thanks for stopping by!!  My card share today features the SU Birthday Blooms Stamp Set.

(UPDATE:  The WONDERFUL news about this card is that it was selected as the favorite card for the week of those submitted to Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge (see below) last Tuesday).

As alluded to above, I created this card to submit to a Splitcoaststampers (SCS) Color Challenge, CC580 – Daffodil Island Garden.  The colors for the challenge are Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, and Garden Green, which are Stampin’ Up! colors.  Vicki Dutcher (vdutcher), SCS member, was the wonderful host who selected these colors for the challenge.  I love blues and yellows together, so I enjoyed this challenge; it was a great color combination.

Vicki offered “dessert” if leaves were included in participants’ submission.  As you can see, they are part of the floral image on my card.

I stamped the floral image in VersaMark, added white embossing powder, and heat set it. I used the ZIG pens to watercolor the floral image, using colors as close as possible to those for the challenge. I got a little heavy-handed with the blue color at first, as this was the first time I’ve used the ZIG pens. After completion, I fussy cut the image and adhered it to a double-stitched Whisper White circle that is framed with a Garden Green double-stitched frame.

I used Daffodil Delight card stock for my card base.  I added a piece of designed acetate for the first layer, and it is from an old SU designer series paper (don’t recall the name). Then I used a old and wide piece of blue SU ribbon, stamping on my “Thank You” greeting.

I hope you enjoy the card!
