SSIC LOC NR Happy for You

 Welcome to this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge.  I hope you have all had a great week - this week in Australia has been one that has been devastating for those living in Queensland with the flooding that has taken a huge toll on the State and the Nation.  It has been so moving to watch the footage of the events and now, as the rain has eased, to see people coming to help with the clean up - what an amazing group of people!


This weeks scripture has been brought to us my my dear friend and Sistah Grace Nywening, who has chosen this scripture:

 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Cor.5:17

The Challenge is to use the theme of "NEW" and interpret it as you want: new year, new life, new birth, new supplies, new house, etc. Please tell us what you use to fit the challenge.


My card for this weeks challenge I am using a new stamp , called Happy Wishes art stamp set it ids also my next sneak peek of the Layers of Color New Release Stamps designed by our new illustrator, the amazing  Nina Brackett .
This adorable Chickadee is from the Backyard Birds art stamp set.  I have coloured it with SU Chalks using a Blender Pen and added some Kindy Glitz.


This is for the following Challenges::
Crafty Creations - new beginnings
Top Tip Tuesday - anything goes
AiFactory - anything goes
