I have two creations to share today - my first card was done all in blues for the Just Us Girls monochromatic challenge. I'm continuing with yesterday's post theme, making this one a sympathy card.
I sponged a floral stencil for the background in Ranger Distress Weathered Wood, then I stamped the blooms on die cuts in Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans. The 'in sympathy' is stamped on a sentiment strip die cut. The flower and sentiment are popped up on foam tape and I added one lone rhinestone.
I'm going to slip this card into the Cas on Sunday - floral fantasy challenge as well
My 2nd card was made for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge - it's Anything Goes - but they provided this verse from 1 Timothy if we wanted to use it. And I have a confession to make! I originally thought this card would also be for the Just Us Girls monochromatic challenge - until I re-read the instructions and realized it was supposed to be blue! But it was a happy mistake because I got two cards for my efforts!
I sponged the circles stencil for the background. I printed the Bible Verse from my computer, die cut it with a Wonky Rectangle, sponged it before taking it out of the die, then layered it over the stenciled panel with foam tape.

Hi Julia! Well, I'm sure sorry you couldn't enter the scripture card in the monochromatic challenge - it is STUNNING! Both cards turned out beautifully, and I'm SO incredibly grateful that you've shared with us in this week's challenge at WAW. Seeing the scripture used SO beautifully and creatively just blesses my heart, and I appreciate you for sharing your talents with us. May God bless your week in a special way for being SUCH a blessing to others. I LOVE your cards!
I also love the picture on your blog header - the one you took in Ireland. What a gorgeous, peaceful scene. Another great share that I appreciate SO much. I would NEVER have the opportunity to see that gorgeous site if you hadn't shared. So, thank you so much. You have blessed my day in more than one way, and I pray that God will bless YOU!
Please know that I appreciate your participation in our challenge and really hope to see you again soon. Your art is SO creative and fun and I already look forward to seeing more.
