Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Christmas Blessings in July

Hello Delightful Friends!

Here is my card for this week's Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  Our sponsor this week is Stamp Simply! $25 gift card has been donated. Yay! Be sure and check out their blog and follow for some wonderful inspiration, check out the Autumn themed card that Esther Asbury created, it's beautiful.

We are so grateful for our wonderful sponsors!  Be sure and visit and do a bit of shopping at the Stamp Simply store.  There are some wonderful stamp sets and dies!  I decided to use an oldie but goodie for my card today.  I love this seasonal stamp set & die and I've used it many times, I love the sentiments and the wreath!  It's July and I couldn't resist the Christmas in July that I'm seeing everywhere and since it's almost the last day of July I thought I should jump on the bandwagon!  Stamp Simply has some fun and nostalgic Christmas stamps, be sure and take a look.

 🎄Here is my card:

Featuring:  Stamp Simply Seasonal Wreath (Fall/winter) with coordinating dies and Fishtail Sentiment Banners 

Other ingredients:

Card Stock: Green Tea, Sugar Cube (TE)

Inks: Green Tea, Oreo

Hello Delightful Friends!

I'm back for another Anything Goes - Family Friendly challenge #708-709 from Word Art Wednesday! Our sponsor for this challenge is Divinity Designs and I've used the Scripture Collection 4 (set of 6) stamp for my card.  My picture is a little wonky.  I really need to use my camera instead of phone. (next time!)

Hope you'll join us for a chance to win a $25 gift card to shop at the online store at Divinity Designs!  Check out the latest release, I see a super cute barbeque grill die set!

                             

Scripture Art this challenge at Word Art Wednesday:

Ingredients for my card:

Stamp: Divinity Designs Scripture Collection #4

Embossing Folder: Taylored Expressions - Mini Meadow (subtle background on Dried Fig card stock and blended around the edges with Dried Fig)

Ink: Taylored Expressions - Oreo, Dried Fig

I love the texture on this card from the embossed background, the blanket stitch and even the center of the flower - the textures create a nice dimension. Even the flower petals have a little touch of embossing, and I added the ink with a blender brush!
