Welcome back, my friends! Today I prepared a card that features a Penny Black Arctic Friends stamp. My card is in response to an Inspiration Challenge (IC) on Splitcoaststampers. This website was selected for the challenge and this item is my inspiration piece.
This card is a JOKE!! 😊😊😊 It really is! As a Dirty Girl (DG) for Splitcoaststampers (SCS), I created the card for a Dirty Dozen Theme challenge to create a project that includes things that start with the letters J, O, K, and E – JOKE!
I thought I had posted the card after my time as an SCS DD, but realized yesterday that I had not. As I have shared before, I could not post online cards I made while serving as a DG until I finished my term. That is another reason it was not posted. Regardless, here it is:
Top of the morning to you, special friends! This is another card for the Dirty Dozen Monthly Theme, “Perfect Blend”. The card is a birthday card featuring the Penny Black Dainty Whispers stamp and blending of Oxide inks.
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Welcome to Guneaux Designs! I love the Penny Black Crimson Blush Rose stamp, and I am featuring it on my card today. I stamped the rose image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Using Copic Sketch Markers, I blended shades of light to dark pink alcohol ink onto the roses, and shades of green onto the leaves. Afterward, I used a dark pink Prismacolor pencil to add more color to enhance the image. Then I blended the pencil coloring with Gamsol.
1 John 3:11-15
“This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.”
Yesterday’s color challenge on Splitcoaststampers was a beautiful color combination of SU Watermelon Wonder, Smoky Gray, and Old Olive. My card submission for the challenge showcased the Penny Black FLORAL ARRANGEMENT Creative Die. Also featured on my card are the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Lilac Scroll & Cage Die, and Whimsy Stamps Shaker Marker Rectangle Dies.
Galatians 6:7
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. People reap what they sow.”
It is a day for a pocket filled with Poppies!! My card share is featuring the stamp set, Parde of Flowers by Penny Black.
Isaiah 55:8
” ‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord.”
