JUGS144 ~ Serve ~

Good morning! Hope all is well with you and yours! Today I am sharing a recent sketch from Just Us Girls.

And my interpretation...

The designer paper (from K & Company's Susan Winget's Meadow) drove the color scheme. I wanted to keep the feel of Rudbeckia so I chose a rich yellow and deep brown for the matting and base respectively. I selected Our Daily Bread Designs' Serve the Lord set for my sentiment and a Cheery Lynn Designs die for embellishment. The embellie is not Rudbeckia but a sunflower.  But I decided to keep it for the cheery look! A very simple project to complete! Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings...

WT370 Windows & Doors ~ For All You Do ~

Today, I am sharing a card I created for Splitcoast Stamper's Ways To Use It Challenge.  This week participants were asked to create something with a window and/or door.  I wanted to do something a little different.  Most of the cards I see show a scene looking outside the window.  I wanted to create something that looked as if you were outside gazing in. 



To create the brick I embossed a white card stock panel with Tim Holtzs' Alteration Bricked folder. I then took my Memento London Fog ink pad and run it over the embossed paper until I achieved the desired look. I added some Ranger Distress Ink (Pumice Stone) with a inking sponge for depth. Once the panel was dry, I used a rectangular Spellbinder die to cut out the window opening. I placed a layer of DP beneath with dimensional foam. I looked for a pattern that reminded me of old wallpaper. I trimmed the brick panel with black card stock and then kraft. The window and window box die were added with dimensional foam. I layered on some liquid adhesive and added my greenery layer (Meadow). After it dried, I added more liquid glue and some Flowersoft in Sweet Pea. I stamped my sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs' Serve the Lord set on the bottom of my white card stock base. I then added my bricked & matted panel. The final step... I added a few black rhinestone beads for interest. I promise the project is not nearly as complicated as it sounds! Thanks so much for stopping in and until next time...

Blessings...
