SSIC LOC God's Way

The Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge is always inspirational for me - I always look forward to Sunday and seeing what the Sistah's share - from the heart and through their art.  This week is is the lovely Grace who has chosen the scripture.

 'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts'  Isaiah 55:8-9

Grace has challenged us to create a card or project that depicts the sharp contrast of black & white or ivory

I have used this fabulous Starflower Frame cling art stamp from Layers of Color, it makes quite a statement in Black and white - which is not a colour combination I use too much but am going to have to change that!  The frame has been cut out with the Spellbinders Labels 16 using the Grand Calibur. 

The sentiment is from the Layers of Color Encouragement art stamp set illustrated by Nina Brackett (I love this set) it has also been cut out with the Grand Calibur and popped up on foam tape. 

The pearls are part of a gorgeous RAK I recieved from a dear friend - who doesn't love pearls - I was torn whether to use these on the card or wear them!  LOL! 

The bow is created using my BowEasi - it always creates a gorgeous 'plush' bow, the 'diamond' is a part of a Blog Candy - I love these brads and am thingking that clear is allowable in a Black and White challenge - I don't want to break the RULZ!!!

You can see the dimension here on the card as well as the embossed layers - I have used two Stampin' Up Embossing Folders - they are always so deeply etched and you have to love that!!

Crafty Ann's - embossing or debossing or both

Crafty Catz - no pink or blue allowed
