Hello again friends! It's time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge! Today, our hostess is sweet Peggysue! She has chosen 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 "Make it your aim to live a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to earn your own living, just as we told you before.12 In this way you will win the respect of those who are not believers, and you will not have to depend on anyone for what you need."
Her challenge is "Nothing bright. Use 'quiet' colors in your creation, either pastels, or low key earthtones, soft, muted shades of beige or neutrals."
My card is made with the summer release from Layers of Color! I just fell in love with this image! It's the Silk Moth Cling Stamp. I stamped it on Cryogen white and colored with Copics (B72, B75, B78, & Y28). Because I used Cryogen there is a little sparkle to it, though the picture doesn't show that. My base is from Mark's Finest Papers, and the matting is SU! Baja Breeze. The designer paper is from a GORGEOUS new DCWV Pack, Mariposa! I ran it through the Big Shot with a Butterfly Corner embossing folder. I sponged everything with Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa. I added a few pearls from ZVA Creative, and a little bling from M's. The lace was a gift from a dear friend, and the blue lace is some older lace I bought at a thrift store, still on the original card.... very cool!
Our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps!
The prize is a $15.00 Gift Certificate~

Grace, this is fantastic! I missed several weeks of SSIC due to our family trip, and then lots of canning when we got home. I'm sorry this was one of them. What a lovely example of "muted doesn't mean dull"!
