It's time for our bi-weekly challenge at <b><a href="http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/">Word Art Wednesday</a>.</b> Don't forget the theme is Anything Goes - Family Friendly. I have chosen the stamp set called <a href="https://store.stampsimply.com/stamps/stamp-simply-clear-stamps-have-a-cup-on-us-bundle"><b>Have a Cup on Us</b></a> (Stamp Simply). I actually bought the bundle which includes the coordinating die set. I thought I might use one of the dies, but I changed my mind because the focus is the Scripture Art from Psalm 145. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> I did a tone on tone stamping technique using Toffee ink, the darker stamped images, I double stamped and then used Versamark and clear embossing powder to give a little more texture. This is a fun stamp set by <b><a href="https://store.stampsimply.com/">Stamp Simply</a></b> who happens to be our sponsor this challenge! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> I did a blending ink technique around the Scripture that was cut out by a Stitched Rectangle Die (Lawn Fawn), I used blending brushes (Taylored Expressions). For a pop of color I added a red small polka dot paper to border the Toffee Card Stock (Taylored Expressions). I like being able to use all or most of the stamps in a set to create a background. I used dimensional tape to pop up the Scripture. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've used this stamp set in two other posts so if you are looking for "coffee card" ideas check out <a href="https://natalie-embracinghisgrace.blogspot.com/2023/05/word-art-wednesday-challenge-may-your.html"><b>HERE</b></a> and <a href="https://natalie-embracinghisgrace.blogspot.com/2023/02/word-art-wednesday-challenge-joyful.html"><b>HERE</b></a>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXV3Jp-tDSdpKIRNAsjK5IFmhSyWyWsxOT3tK6R-PAn_g7DKMYYKaOZcWGPmGiWaAerGulzcTMnG8Fbja9s8xetHFNpVWlcM1AoOLKWWRknilbNip7rN5LujLoWjn_hJuXc47p9Smd-RVKkvpEkMeLSf7IRxE_3BWdNNfOKf-VHuH-VhokNJpldRiWfx4/s640/Aug%2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="533" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXV3Jp-tDSdpKIRNAsjK5IFmhSyWyWsxOT3tK6R-PAn_g7DKMYYKaOZcWGPmGiWaAerGulzcTMnG8Fbja9s8xetHFNpVWlcM1AoOLKWWRknilbNip7rN5LujLoWjn_hJuXc47p9Smd-RVKkvpEkMeLSf7IRxE_3BWdNNfOKf-VHuH-VhokNJpldRiWfx4/s320/Aug%2016.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Scripture Art can be used in the challenge if you'd like and it's free to upload!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggVUfiNr2DzUfsosKG5HDQPTKrCtBAbNZ2F3pw4_E7fZn4pZ9MYKN7XL7sYt-1zi1-MKBcp0VCqRMmPEq2hgJP_Nfs7O_y7E_AO-uVWTdDPaIAIf6ynJv8-5Wk0a7P-Tx-dF0AO1p5mq2rD1gB-J1V1ZnAOsc4UcMQRbVRGqRwV3LEJdhE7iqBTIVFG8k/s1776/August16.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1776" data-original-width="980" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggVUfiNr2DzUfsosKG5HDQPTKrCtBAbNZ2F3pw4_E7fZn4pZ9MYKN7XL7sYt-1zi1-MKBcp0VCqRMmPEq2hgJP_Nfs7O_y7E_AO-uVWTdDPaIAIf6ynJv8-5Wk0a7P-Tx-dF0AO1p5mq2rD1gB-J1V1ZnAOsc4UcMQRbVRGqRwV3LEJdhE7iqBTIVFG8k/s320/August16.png" width="177" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Pacifico; font-size: large;">Thanks so much for visiting!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Pacifico; font-size: large;">Natalie 💓</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><br /><div><br /></div>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06627695045799877008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776233591342439334.post-47435880248693967372023-08-02T00:00:00.031-07:002023-08-02T00:00:00.138-07:00Word Art Wednesday - Blessed MouseHello Delightful Friends!<div><br /></div><div>Time for <b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/">Word Art Wednesday Challeng</a>e</span></b>!

Our sponsor is the lovely <a href="https://blog.altenew.com/"><b>Altenew</b></a>! Hope you'll visit their <a href="https://blog.altenew.com/"><b>blog</b></a> for some wonderful crafty inspiration. If you share with us new Anything Goes projects at Word Art Wednesday you can have an opportunity to win the prize! I've chosen the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/mini-magnolia"><b>Mini Magnolia Stamp</b></a> from Altenew and I've used a few different techniques to make this card. One of course is the monochromatic theme I've used. Another technique is the no line coloring which is achieved by stamping lightly with ink (light ink plus stamp off for a lighter impression.) I colored with Prismacolor Pencils (list of colors and other "ingredients" at the end of this post.) I've used that same stamp to make this pretty magnolia background. The sentiment is from the stamp set called <a href="https://altenew.com/products/mini-white-splendour"><b>Mini White Spendor Anemone</b></a> which I stamped with the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/permanent-black-crisp-ink"><b>Altenew Crisp Ink - Permanent Black.<br /></b></a><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipyWEwL_jO_HiqKUEOiyWtRIcPWClIEYHeSFp-y-PlRYLWCjf6UheuQ0kjuGFqv-dwUL5N-Tl2Ouor5dbzrbw2SEUxSSku10FCeBY3x_R9ljzIXfcOBTtCanEVEElU8ZiXgRO_SseJoC8_5bA_T14UMsWA8LKG1lZem_rA-v2YUTUgVrm3LdnwLlImK8o/s607/June%2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="481" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipyWEwL_jO_HiqKUEOiyWtRIcPWClIEYHeSFp-y-PlRYLWCjf6UheuQ0kjuGFqv-dwUL5N-Tl2Ouor5dbzrbw2SEUxSSku10FCeBY3x_R9ljzIXfcOBTtCanEVEElU8ZiXgRO_SseJoC8_5bA_T14UMsWA8LKG1lZem_rA-v2YUTUgVrm3LdnwLlImK8o/w318-h400/June%2021.jpg" width="318" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the Scripture Art this week:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguh6_db84_F7hkfl0TZ0B51C7hIr34XI6A2yHSZodQFtx37NwH42ExLa2UXJwbQX7VFyJgCeig22Npa5dXjbCxTdRiC6GaumLFhtuAvIOrmVs8JDlPPCDKq1CM-QjNsJfirZ3xI03kJ3YdtKeroSDHZn84_ubcKk7Fynyb-jEF5mDNNa3C42HaxzORDF4/s1488/June21.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1488" data-original-width="1412" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguh6_db84_F7hkfl0TZ0B51C7hIr34XI6A2yHSZodQFtx37NwH42ExLa2UXJwbQX7VFyJgCeig22Npa5dXjbCxTdRiC6GaumLFhtuAvIOrmVs8JDlPPCDKq1CM-QjNsJfirZ3xI03kJ3YdtKeroSDHZn84_ubcKk7Fynyb-jEF5mDNNa3C42HaxzORDF4/w190-h200/June21.png" width="190" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Here are the other ingredients used:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Dies: Pink Fresh Studios Stitched Scallop Rectangle</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Stamp Simply Fishtail Sentiment Banner</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Taylored Expressions Ink and Paper : Rose Water</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Prismacolor Pencils: 938, 1065, 909, 1028, 908, 1092</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Blending stump and mineral spirits</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Scotch 3M double-sided foam dimensional tape.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for visiting!!

So you know, it's time for our <b><a href="http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Word Art <span style="font-size: medium;">Wednesday Challenge</span></span></a></b> - Family Friendly/Anything Goes! And of course our sponsor this week is<a href="https://blog.lawnfawn.com/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b> <span style="font-size: medium;">Lawn Fawn</span></b></span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span>- yippee!! Love their products and their fun videos...fun, fun, fun!</div><div>This card uses the stamp set called <b>Smooth Sailing</b> and I love this sentiment. I thought it would be perfect for Mother's Day especially if she loves sailing, the beach or visiting lighthouses. Living here on the coast all of those activities are available. 😊</div><div>I did used multiple techniques to create this card which included: paper piecing, fussy cutting, distress inking edges and diecutting. I don't have the dies to this stamp set so I had to cut out the boat and the lighthouse. I paper pieced the sails and the flag on the boat with the <b>Lawn Fawn 6x6 pad called Polka</b> <b>In the Meadow,</b> I used the paper to die cut the stitched circle and then cut out strips for the "rays". I used the <b>Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside border dies </b>to create the ocean waves and the sand. On the blue card stock I inked the edges to give a bit of depth and then stamped the little waves in blue and one in white that is closer to the shoreline. In the sky I've stamped three birds and I've colored the boat and the lighthouse with PrismaColor pencils.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8qFvDnpnMZyS_EHEMqgSmpswHk4QWkurjFkvuogXcWuP385mKFuIMRdBSqIEWoR49rQMHt198TEOX6yp7brdwwgSwQ4UPs9ue_S65Q7JpWnRCqLj_lLdBdzWBM7wuK4kfggl2YJRFaHwZyB3WigSGh7_gpCgXE3mFcLdtUhEgejKcc-GMbZ3xCH5/s598/May%2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="460" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8qFvDnpnMZyS_EHEMqgSmpswHk4QWkurjFkvuogXcWuP385mKFuIMRdBSqIEWoR49rQMHt198TEOX6yp7brdwwgSwQ4UPs9ue_S65Q7JpWnRCqLj_lLdBdzWBM7wuK4kfggl2YJRFaHwZyB3WigSGh7_gpCgXE3mFcLdtUhEgejKcc-GMbZ3xCH5/w308-h400/May%2010.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Other Ingredients:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Card Stock: Gumball, Toffee, Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Inks: Gumball & Sugar Cube (TE); Jet Black (Altenew)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Glossy Accents (on galley windows on the boat and the windows on the lighthouse)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stencil brush (TE)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the Scripture Art that is perfect for Mother's Day and it's free to use - head over to the Word Art Wednesday Blog and grab yours!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJy8wXh7w52zFQ5d9FixS7hbmnnj3YKoZB_RfU4oaDJ0-TOEPLVwdl2_YzD7ZucdWHtfPoyqb1XYk2PuaiqY7sW6MBJfu_idYXszuZ9AOSrtsWB6GceAJt_rDBrMlcTcrLxQGYM-DlpO95jANDVcHS4nWVUZlHJcwJvz78Q3iTQbaq9TmF9dgUFYf/s1252/May10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1084" data-original-width="1252" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJy8wXh7w52zFQ5d9FixS7hbmnnj3YKoZB_RfU4oaDJ0-TOEPLVwdl2_YzD7ZucdWHtfPoyqb1XYk2PuaiqY7sW6MBJfu_idYXszuZ9AOSrtsWB6GceAJt_rDBrMlcTcrLxQGYM-DlpO95jANDVcHS4nWVUZlHJcwJvz78Q3iTQbaq9TmF9dgUFYf/w200-h173/May10.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you'll join us at Word Art Wednesday and share your "Anything Goes" creations!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have a blessed week and thanks for visiting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Dancing Script"; font-size: x-large;">💗</b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Lobster; font-size: large;">Natalie </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06627695045799877008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776233591342439334.post-29190900804551644092023-04-26T00:00:00.045-07:002023-04-26T00:00:00.143-07:00Word Art Wednesday Challenge - How sweet!Hello Delightful Friends!<div><br /></div><div>Time for the new challenge at <a href="http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Word Art Wednesday</b></span></a>.
