GOD IS GOOD




More bookmarks! I added some butterflies to the mix. I like the results of the sayings stamped with the stazon ink on the felt.
I know from the photo it's blurry ,but in person it isn't, and you can read it.

FAITH BOOKMARK


I played today with felt and embroidery floss and came up with this cute bookmark. For the faith stamp I used stazon ink and it stamps pretty good on felt, cool. The stamp is from my Sweet 'nSassy set.

The stitch I hand stitched around the flower and bookmark edge is the blanket stitch or also called the buttonhole stitch.

So I'm taking a break from painting and having fun with my other talents. This would be a cute flower to put on a card.

apple for a teacher


I like painting these apples. So I made some gift bags for that special teacher.

Added some raffia and a gift tag. What teacher wouldn't love getting a gift in

this cute bag. Even added the tissue wrap inside the bag.

Thinking SPRING


With cold weather here, I'm thinking spring.


This painting has it all flowers, butterflies, and a cute birdhouse.

For the roof and the side of the card I used a scruffy brush and pounced the paint on. It's a fun

technique to do.

THINK SPRING!

Mojo Monday Week 23 One more thing


I wanted to add one more thing to the card I submitted for the week 23 challenge, so here it is.

Added the sentiment You touch my life, also from the Stampin'Up stamp set.

I like this one better, it needed just that one more thing!

Mojo Monday Week 23 Challenge


I'm hooked on these challenges. Every Monday I check what sketch Julee has for us to create a card with. This week two winners get to pick a stamp set from Verve Visual stamps.

I chose the stamp from Stampin'Up set, this is my favorite stamp set. I chaulked in the image and wrapped the gold cord around this panel.
papers: black cardstock, gold embossed, purple mulberry, the image is stamped on a handmade paper.

Verve sketch challenge #1


I love a challenge, so here goes. This card I used my new stamp set from Sweet'nSassy . The flower ,you got it, a Liz's original. I gold embossed the scripture verse. And the edges of the flower are also gold embossed. To do that I just rubbed the versamark ink pad on the edges and then put the embossing powder on it.
