Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes - Family Friendly

Hello Delightful Friends!

We are finally experiencing some winter weather now that softball practice is upon us, of course! My poor granddaughters, it is frigid outside.  The snow level is right around 1000' and is about 9 miles up the road from us.  Between the wind off the ocean and the very cold air from the mountains, sure makes it for some miserable weather to be outside in between showers!  Last night we had a terrific thunder and lightning storm. At first, I thought it was an earthquake shaking the house.  It is good weather for staying in and doing some crafting, unfortunately I had to go to work, but I did squeeze in a little cardmaking last night for the challenge.
Word Art Wednesday challenge is for two weeks, and it's Anything Goes-Family Friendly!
Our sponsor for this challenge is Not Too Shabby ($25).  Check out their blog and challenge HERE!

Here is my card for this week's challenge:
Lots of color and layers on this one.  It was pretty quick once I decided what stencil and colors I wanted to use. The Scripture Art was perfect for the inside sentiment.




Here are the ingredients (all from Taylored Expressions)
Paper: Honeydew Melon, Blueberry, Sugar Cube
Inks: Honeydew Melon, Banana Cream Pie, Dijon, Tiki Mule, Sour Gummy, Blueberry.
Stencil: Whimsical Wildflowers Layering Stencil
Stamps: Fineline Script background stamp; Together in Type Stamp and Die set
Die: All Planned out 4 set (scallop); A2 Postage Stamp Stacklet Die

Techniques: 
Tone on Tone stamping (Honeydew melon paper & ink)
Stenciling with layers using stencil brushes
Using dies to cut sentiment, frame and A2 Layer

Thanks for visiting!  Don't forget to visit us at Word Art Wednesday to play along with the challenge for a chance to win the sponsor's prize!  Be sure and check the Not 2 Shabby blog for some great crafty color inspiration!

I'll share a little under each photo.

Prizes 2 & 3 are the prizes I am personally offering for USA participants only:

The above card I used Talking in Circles Piercing Plate on the Jujube card stock. The frame is a die called Blanket Stitched Rectangle (PinkFresh).
Inks used: Jujube, Mulled Wine, Green Tea, Winter Green.  
Micron Pen to faux stitch the quilt designs.
The card below, I've used the Cross-Stitched embossing folder on the Green Tea cardstock. I've added a band across the bottom quarter of the card, without any embossing but I've done the faux stitching for a little interest.

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š
 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!
