Hello everyone~ Happy Sunday! With Sunday comes another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge and today we have a real easy one!!! Our hostess this week is the sweet and lovely Linda! Linda has chosen Mark 10:27 for this week's Scripture.
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Linda's Challenge is Anything Goes! Now how easy is that!!!
My card is made with the October release from Our Daily Bread designs called Christmas Tree Collage. It's a real fun stamp to work with... easy to color and very easy to use in a CAS card or a layered up card.... your choice! I also used the border stamp from the Porch Set.
I used Memento Ink to stamp the image, then colored with Copics, adding glittery hints to the flames with a gold Spica Pen. The artwork detail in the stamp is all the shading you need! I used THoltz Distress Ink in Stormy Sky to stamp the border from the Porch Set. I sponged everything with Antique Linen, then Stormy Sky around the borders, and a little Adirondack Latte to age a bit. The base is Bazzill, also sponged. The dp is Websters Pages Botanical Christmas & Winter Fairy Tales Pack. I used Glossy Accents to gloss up the ornaments. I added a bow of seam binding, a shiny bling star, and two stick pins with beads in the two major tones of the card, and done. Very quick and easy!
Our Sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp.
We want to thank them for their continued support of SSIC!
Be sure to check out the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge for the details of the prize as well as to read Linda's devotional!
This weekend, our family including our grandkids are participating in a Re-enactment of the American Revolution period at Williamsburg, VA. Sorry for the shortness of my post, but it was prescheduled. I hope to have some pictures to share when I get back!

Hi Grace,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauitful card. There is so much to see...I really like the bow with the pins. Your color choices and coloring is so wonderful. I may actually buy some blue glass ornaments for my tree this year. I usually leave them plain...or use clear crystal. I love the dp you chose...that tree on the left is very eye-catching, also. I love the placement of the music and the flourishes...the first word I see is "Lord."
Amazing card. Can't wait to hear about your weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. God Bless!
He IS Able!

Grace, your card is beautiful...as always. But I have to tell you, the first song on your website today brought me to tears! It's absolutely awesome in every way. Again, you have made me feel so much better, after a long hard day. And the 2nd song, Amazing Grace, has always been one of my favorites. I could just sit here and close my eyes, and listen to this all night. Thanks from the bottom of my heart! Hugs and love ....
ReplyDeleteWow Grace, you sure do know how to make stamped images look incredible! I just about fell out of my chair when I saw this. I just realized that we are both from NC. How cool is that? Also, thanks for posting the Fibromyalgia ribbon on your blog. I am a sufferer.
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful, Grace! I love the blue!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and everything in the card :) Blue and green are superb.. Bow with the pins are superb..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Grace xx
