Word Art Wednesday Challenge #617-618

Hello Delightful Friends,
My apologies for the late post and the lack of info on this post, it's called crazy week!  

Here is my card fo this week for the Word Art Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes / Family Friendly.  This image is stenciled and my last post has the color combo because it's a layered quad stencil which means I get 4 card designs from the stenciling on one sheet of cardstock. Such a time saver for the busy crafter 😉

  Please check out the Word Art Wednesday to see all the inspiration this week! Our sponsor is Newton's Nook Designs and some of their design team has shared on the WAW blog.  Visit WAW and upload a crafty project play along and you'll have a chance to win a $20 gift certificate.



Scripture Art for the challenge:

Have a blessed week and pray for the peace of Israel.

Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes/Family Friendly

Hello Delightful Friends!

Welcome Autumn!  My favorite time of the year.  I'm sharing a new Autumn card for our Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  It's an Anything Goes / Family Friendly challenge that runs for two weeks.
Our sponsor this time is Heartfelt Creations, art from the heart!  Share with us at Word Art Wednesday and be in the drawing for the sponsors prize.  You can link up 5 new crafty creations each week that the challenge runs!

Here is my card:



I've used a stencil set from Taylored Expressions Quad Stencil Club.  It's the last one for the club, which has been discontinued.  I've used quite a few ink colors and I'll do my best to remember them, I accidently deleted my photo of all the colors.  Here goes: Pineapple, Honey, Sweet Potatoe Pie, Cinnamon, Avocado, & Sweet Basil.  
The green card stock is Sweet Basil. The white card stock is Sugar Cube.  
All the colors are TE.
I've also used the blender brushes.

Here is the Scripture Art for the week:

Hope that you know that Jesus is our hope and the anchor of our soul! 

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed week!

Hello Delightful Friends,

It's my favorite time of the year, end of summer into early fall.  So I decided for my card this challenge to make my first fall themed card. I love making Autumn cards.
I've used our sponsor Gina K Designs... stamp and stencil set called Autumn Wishes, unfortunately it's now retired. 
 Hope you'll join us at Word Art Wednesday for the challenge of Anything Goes - Family Friendly.

Here's my card:



I've used an assortment of inks to make this background (all Taylored Expressions)
Candy Corn, Mango, lemon meringue, Sweet Basil, Cilantro and Granny Smith.
I've used Toffee card stock and the yellow card stock I believe is Banana Cream.
The background piece I've popped up using dimensional strips, the Scripture Art piece background is die cut by the Stitched Rectangle set by Lawn Fawn.

Scripture Art from Psalm 33:21 - you can upload the Scripture Art and use if you'd like!

I kept my card very simple with the Scripture Art being the focal point.  A great verse to memorize from Romans 8.Such a powerful verse to get down in your heart and be fully persuaded that nothing can separate you from the love of Jesus Christ. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free!



Ingredients:
Kite die is called Let's go fly a kite (Taylored Expressions)
Designer Paper: Doodlebug Designs Fairy Garden
Card stock :  Mango, Blue Raspberry, Blueberry and Sugar Cube.
Stitched Edge Die (not sure who makes this one and I'll have to wait until I go to work and see what it is because I left it there with my other crafty stuff.) I'll have to update this if I remember 💚

Thanks for visiting, I hope you'll play along with us, so be sure and check out the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog.  We have a new challenge and sponsor every 2 weeks!

Blessings!

Word Art Wednesday - Praise His Name Forever and Ever

Hello Delightful Friends!
Hope you are enjoying a blessed summer day!  It's time for our bi-weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  Don't forget the theme is Anything Goes - Family Friendly.  I have chosen the stamp set called Have a Cup on Us (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. 
 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 Stamp Simply who happens to be our sponsor this challenge! 
 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.  

I've used this stamp set in two other posts so if you are looking for "coffee card" ideas check out HERE and HERE.



Scripture Art can be used in the challenge if you'd like and it's free to upload!

Thanks so much for visiting!!

Word Art Wednesday - Blessed Mouse

Hello Delightful Friends!

Time for Word Art Wednesday Challenge! This weeks theme is Anything Goes - Family Friendly.  Our fun sponsor is My Favorite Things!  They have the cutest stamp sets and some "sweet" new products!! Who wouldn't want to win the sponsors prize!! Be sure and check out the challenge!  This card I'm sharing I used an oldie but a goodie called Blessed Mouse from MFT (it's no longer available).  I colored her with Copics (which I haven't done in soooo long!) and paper pieced her blouse with some Echo Park designer 6x6 paper.  I used a gray Prismacolor pencil to "ground" the image so she doesn't look like she's floating in the air 😉


Here is the Scripture Art used this week:

other ingredients:
Image stamped with Earl Grey ink (TE)
Card Stock: Banana Cream. Fruit Punch, Sugar Cube
Liquid Pearls
Copics
Spellbinder Wonky Rectangle Die, Flower Die (freebie from TE)

Thanks so much for visiting!
