Stampin Sisters in Christ #154

Hi everyone, I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who has visited my blog and left lovely comments, I am very grateful, thank you so much! Crafting is helping me to get through some difficult stuff at the moment.

Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge#154 is to make a card using die cuts, punches and shapes of any kind.

Their verse for this week is “Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”  Isaiah 64:8

For my card I've used papers from the Tea-Thyme collection by Prima.

The diamond shapes were cut out using a Craftwork Cards template, the central piece is a little label from the Tea-Thyme pad and the flowers were made using flower punches.

Stamped verse is "He makes all things beautiful in His time" Ecc 3:11 (by Our Daily Bread Designs).

A CAS morning (!)

Hi everyone, I have had a CAS morning today and made a few cards inspired by the Less Is More challenge this week to use a 3-2-1 recipe, that is, 3 of something, 2 of something and 3 of something else. Also had fun using stamps I haven't used for a while!

This first card above is made using stamps by A Stamp in the Hand and Cranberry and Lettuce inks by Adirondack - 3 fruits, 2 colours and 1 banner.

For this card, I used a shaped card blank by Craftwork Cards, border stamp by Glitz Designs and word stamp by Stampendous, stamped using Denim ink by Adirondack - 3 gems, 2 words and 1 border.

I have stamped a heart stamp by Glitz Designs and heat embossed with Egyptian Gold embossing powder, little flower stamp by Penny Black and words stamp by Hero Arts - 3 flowers, 2 words, 1 heart.

I would also like to enter this card as my second entry into the ATS Addicted to [Gold] Challenge 2 to make a card using GOLD.

This card was made by inking a panel with Artnic Cinnamon and Umber inks, and stamping in Umber with a little leafy stamp from a set by Hobby Art, word stamp by Hero Arts - 3 words, 2 colours, 1 panel.

I used the Dots N Flowers stamps (Hero Arts) to stamp the flowers onto patterned paper and cut them out, stamped the stems and leaves - 3 flowers, 2 pearls, 1 ribbon.

Phew!!

My card has three leaves (stamp by Hero Arts), two shades of green (Ranger Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint) and one sentiment (stamp by TPC).
