Just Say Thanks Challenge ODBDSLC286

     Today, I have a card for the "Just Say Thanks" challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs.  I send more thank-you cards than any other kind, so I'm loving this month's challenge.

     I used these stamps, dies and papers from Our Daily Bread Designs:

       cardstock-   Rustic Beauty Collection

       stamp-         Pennant Flag Verses (ICS62)

       dies-             Lattice Background (CBD237)

                              Double Stitched Rectangles (CBD123)

                              Double Stitched Pennant Flags (CBD135)

     I fussy-cut my flowers from a sheet of cardstock that comes in the Rustic Beauty paper collection.

     I used chalk ink in Olive Pastel from ColorBox to stamp my flag, and finished off my card with a few scattered epoxy dots.

     There is still plenty of time to get your own card in. Check out the rules and other details here.

     I hope you enjoy this long weekend as we celebrate Memorial Day.

    

     May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands, Pamela

DCWV October Stack-a-holic Card Color Challenge

  Update: So excited! Just found out this card made it into the Top-10 at DCWV! Check out the other winners here: http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2013/10/top-10-october-stack-holic-challenge.html

   Thanks for popping in! I always love your visits. Today, I have a card for DCWV's Card Color Challenge for October.

 

     Green, purple, orange, and brown are the colors-of-the-month. I used DCWV's The Home Spun Stack, one of my favs, to create my card. I love this stack for the ridged texture it brings. The small glittery orange strip of cardstock under the purple is from DCWV's The Halloween Stack. One piece of advice I might offer is if you are using a trimmer to cut the glitter papers, put your paper into the trimmer upside down. It will help keep your blade from getting dull so quickly.

     To make the textured wreath, I used Sizzix's Wreath folder. Then, ran my boysenberry pigment pad from ColorBox over the top to make the wreath stand out more. I added a few leaves, buttons, feathers, gems and autumn leaves. I got the leaves from a sprig of flowers in the floral dept. They peel off nicely and will stick well with glue dots.

     There's still plenty of time to enter your own card. Check out the details here: http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-stack-holic-challenge.html

Vertical Sketch Challenge in The Moxie Fab World

This is my card in the Vertical Sketch Challenge in The Moxie Fab World. This was a fun card to make. Would have been easier if I had had a die cut machine to cut out the little purses. I cut them out by hand. Still an easy and quick project though. You can give it a try too at the link below the picture.

Hope you all have a fun weekend and I pray that those friends and family of mine as well as all living in the path of hurricane Irene are safe and dry.
