Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! With Sunday comes another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge. This week our hostess is Linda. She has chosen Proverbs 27:17 for today's Scripture.
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
The challenge is to use some form of metal on your project.
The challenge is to use some form of metal on your project.
These past few weeks have been difficult ones for our family, as my dear Father in law is making his final journey from this temporal body to his heavenly home and I have had to make a quick project for today's challenge, and have had to keep my posts brief.
I used a vintage image from Crafty Secrets Journaling pad. I cut off the journaling lines and plan to use that on the inside. I matted my image with Bazzill Rasberry and SU! Mellow Moss, then ran a piece of Very Vanilla through the Cuttlebug to emboss, and sponged lightly with Mellow Moss Ink. My birds are both from Layers of Color Art Stamp set "Royal Birds". It's the first time I have played with these as I just recently got them and what fun they are! I colored them with Chalks. I need to learn more from Linda on how to do that! LOL! They are popped up on dimensionals. My metal piece is a ribbon tie on from Making Memories and the raspberry twill was from my stash.

Hi Grace~
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May He comfort all of you, as only He can do.
This is surely one of my top 5 favorite cards I have seen you make! I love every thing about it! And, to say you made it quickly is just not possible for me to comprehend. I love the flowers in the center...it uses my favorite colors, and I love the embossed bg...so Vintage! The birds are wonderful! I don't think you need to change a thing, or learn more about chalking. Look at all of the colors in this. (Lovely Linda does love to color her bird images well though, doesn't she? And, the ribbon with that one perfect word, "Blessings" is just beautiful, Dear Grace. Love it! Love you!
He IS Able,

Beautiful Grace! This is lovely. And you and your family are in my thoughts.
Hi Grace, I'm a bit behind. I wanted to let you know that I am sorry for your loss, but filled with joy at the knowledge that he is home, with the Lord.
Your card is beautiful and a fabulous take on the inspiration photo! Great job!
