Birthday Tea

     Just love those Lily of the Valley stamps....I have a special birthday girl I intend to send this to (its a surprise so I can't share it right now).  These little ladies were such a pleasure to color and layer on top of bright colors. It was one of those days where I had everything out on my stamping table, Embossing Folders, Spellbinders Dies, Ribbon, Rhinestones, Copics, and lovely, lovely colorful paper.......a card looking this nice on the outside needed an inside to match.

Thanks for looking,

Guiding Light!!

     When I had this stamp out a few weeks ago to use, I was rummaging through my paper.   I came across this unusual wavy cardstock..... I might as well confess, I am a paper hoarder!  Its not that I have too much, but I think long and hard about my patterned paper.  To cut and not have it come out the way I imagine it should, feels like a waste - so I like to be sure I have a plan.   I knew then and there I would make a card  with this Lighthouse and fun paper.  The blue paper from The Mango Frost DCWV stack called out to be the background. Using my Copics to color it, then choosing a Scripture Sentiment from the same Our Daily Bread Designs set Light of the World, I put this together.   

     I think it makes a good masculine card - with a bold and positive scripture.  

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by:

Every Word.....

     Yes, ANOTHER step card....once I started playing with this style I was just having too much fun to stop.   Today I used a scripture from Our Daily Bread Designs, Scripture Collection 7 - I will also enter it in their Stamping in Time Challenge #47.   The paper is from a fun DCWV  Christmas Combo I purchased at Jo-Ann Fabrics, there have been a lot of fun papers in this pack.
     I have several favorite scriptures and decided to use this from Proverbs on my card.  It highlights for me that God is sovereign, holy and trustworthy and that His word can be relied on in times need.
