SSIC Clear to See

This weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge is brought to us by one of the Co-founders and lovely lady - Kristine Breach.  Kris has chosen the scripture:


 "...Christ in you, the hope of glory" Colossians 1:27b


Kris has challenged us to use something transparent like vellum, acetate, transparency sheets etc.

My main image is from our very generous sponsor Serendipity Stamps and has been coloured using Prismacolor Pencils - what a gorgeous image.  It has been cut out and mounted with foam tape onto a Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five Nestibilities and embossed using the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilities Folder, all cutting and embossing has been done with my Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine


I have used Vellum and embossed a sentiment from the retired Layers of Color Sent With Love clear art stamp set - the sentiment seemed to be the perfect one for this gorgeous image - it reminds me of my Mum's veranda and there are many times I would love to be sitting there with her - instead I sit here - missing her - you never grow too old to need your Mum! LOL!


I must add here I am sorry for the quality of my photos, my week has been unbelievable and I realised at midnight last night I did not have my card photographed and had to do it in the bathroom with the heat lights on - I am hoping to rephotograph and update them as they do not do this wonderful image justice....but I did not want to miss this weeks challenge!! :)

This card is for the following challenges:
Just Us Girls - Technique Challenge - Sponging a Layer (my embossed layer has been sponged)
Sugar Creek Hollow - Die Cuts or Punches (Spellbinders Labels 25)
Delicious Doodles - Loads of Layers
Stamp Man - Vellum
Aud Sentiments Challenge -  Spring/Summer colours
Crafty Purple Frog - Let's get distressed
Moving Along With The Times - Shabby chic and/or vintage

A  BIG Thank you to our sponsor Serendipity Stamps.  Please be sure to stop by and show them some Stampin’ Sisters in Christ love!!

    I do think that was one of the best tips you've ever given me though, when taking pics at night, take them in the bathroom, makes so much sense, white tiles, bright lights. Love how you placed the vellum and the coloring on that fabby image. I wish I didn't have to cook or clean and could browse beautiful blogs like yours all day long! LOL! I apologize, I had thought for sure that I had stopped by earlier in the week!
