Hello sweet friends! I hope you are all doing well!!!
I am popping in to share a card I made using several of this month's ODBD new releases, and for a few challenges.
I used the ODBD Midnight Clear Background and inked first in Baked Brown
Sugar, then dabbed off the brown on the snowflake edges with a paper
towel and inked with Coastal Cabana. I knew I wanted to add a little
glitter to the edges so I just didn't worry too much about having the transitions perfect from the brown to the blue. I added
some T Holtz white paint and some Recollections clear glass glitter all
around the snowflakes. I
stamped my clock from the God's Timing set, using the Matting Circle Dies, and the Circle Ornament Dies to cut it,using Baked Brown Sugar cs which I sponged
with Crumb Cake. I cut three of the ODBD Peaceful Poinsettia Dies from vanilla cs
and then spritzed them with Tattered Angels Candy Apple Red glimmer
mist. I love how the gold glitter seemed to settle in to the embossed
parts of the poinsettia! After arranging everything, I added Gala Glitz
(Art Glitter) to the centers. LOVE this stuff! It's a combination of
coppery beads and glass glitter. All the greenery and flourishes are
from ODBD Fancy Foliage die set.
I am entering this in the ODBD Shining the Light Challenge, which is a Scripture inspiration challenge.
Be inspired by this verse:
Ecclesiastes 3:1: To everything there is a season and a purpose for every time under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1: To everything there is a season and a purpose for every time under heaven.
I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it! The colors were dictated by a color challenge I played in on SCS but I ended up liking how it came out. While I'm on the subject of Splitcoaststampers... I have been highly honored to be asked to be on the Dirty Dozen... the 12 gifted design team members for Splitcoaststampers! While I cannot share the cards I have created for this special gallery for 6 months, I can give you a little a link to the gallery where they can be viewed, but only if you are a fan club member there. Each month we are given different themes and we create 6-8 cards for that theme, and it's one of the special things done for fan club membership. If you are a fan club member, you can view the gallery HERE.
Today's Blessing from the Word:
Heb. 4:16 KJ
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Blessings,
