Word Art Wednesday - Sponsor: Creative Worship

Hello Delightful Friends!

Wow, just a week away from Thanksgiving!  It seems like October lasts so long and then November hits and before we know it is time for Christmas!  I'm behind this year, last few years I've been on top of my crafty stuff but this year I've found myself a bit lagging behind, it's been crazy at work so I'll blame my lack of energy at home due to the stress and energy used at work 😊

 This week at Word Art Wednesday we have an awesome sponsor:  Creative Worship Stamps check out all the gorgeous designers' work, so pretty and inspirational. Thank you Korin!

Hope you can join us at Word Art Wednesday and play along with us and share your creative projects and have an opportunity to win our sponsor's prize.

Here's my card featuring Winter Birds from Creative Worship Stamps:

Not only the bird but the holly, berries and sentiment are from Creative Worship Stamps in this one fun stamp set.  All of the holly/berries under the Cardinal were fussy cut, time consuming, but well worth it.  Next order will be for the die cuts that coordinate with this stamp set.  The background was stamped and then colored with Olo Markers.  These are clear stamps, so I inked them with VersaFine Claire Nocturne ink which gave me a nicely inked image.

Other ingredients:

Paper: Cherry Pop, Sugar cube (TE) Plaid strip was a piece I found in my stash.

Inks: Toffee (inking edges) Taylored Expressions

Olo Markers (TE) multiple colors of red, green, dk brown

White pencil (PrismaColor)

Dies: All Planned Out (TE)

Thanks so much for visiting, please make plans to join us at Word Art Wednesday and share your crafty projects with us!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
