Crafters of Faith Creation Challenge

Good Morning All!  Today my card is for the Crafters of Faith group I belong to.  We were to make a card with a "creation" theme.  We could use anything from flowers, trees-something that reminds us of God's beautiful world.  I am a mountain lover, so the image was easy enough to choose. I did have a bit of a fit in the coloring, did it more than once!  (she said with a chuckle, because she loves to color!) 

The image comes from a Gina K Designs set called "Happy Camper", by Theresa Momber, one of my stamping heroes. That girl is seriously good with color and sponging.

Try as I might to bling this baby up, I just couldn't get anything to look right.  I tried ribbon, rhinestones, pearls, brads.  Guess you just can't add to God's beautiful work.  The verse I used, Psalms 46:10, describes how I feel when I am on the top of a mountain peak and can see for MILES.  It is so QUIET and the beauty of creation is all around you. 

Cardstock is from Stampin' UP! and Bazzill. I colored the image with Koh-i-nor pencils and blended with mineral spirits.  I used my ancient Fiskars Deckled Edge scissors to trim the verse.  I still love those little beauties!

Thanks so much for stopping in today, and take a minute to slow down, breathe in and enjoy God's Creation!. 

Crazy 4 Challenge C4C119

Oh Happy Day!  It's a beautiful, crisp day here in central Washington.  Perfect day to stay inside, 'cuz it's COLD, baby!  7 degrees! DH is home today because of the MLK holiday.  He has some carpentry plans today.  Onward, stamping soldiers to my card.........

I made this card with the Crazy 4 Monochromatic Blue   C4C119 challenge in mind.  I have had the patterned paper for quite some time, it is so pretty, it was hard for me to use. I just don't want to part with it I guess.   Cardstock comes from Stampin' Up! and Bazzil. Nestibilities were used to cut the shapes and a bit of vellum and butterfly punch from Martha Stewart adorns the oval blue that was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. Sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by today!  God Bless!
