SSIC Cracked Roses

It is time for this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, this week our hostess is Helen, who has chosen the following scripture:

 

 

 "He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds" (NIV) Psalm 147:3

Helen has challenged us to use something "broken and put back together" on your card.

 

 

For my card I have used an image from the JustRite® Papercraft  Shabby Chic Labels Four stamp set, I have cut it out using the Spellbinders Labels Four Nestabilities and the Grand Calibur® Machine.  The image is coated with Dimensional Magic and once dry, placed in the freezer for ten minutes, then carefully cracked and rubbed over using Vintage Photo Distressing Ink to make the image look aged and vintage.

 

 

 

Recycled lace, Seam Binding, a Mulberry Rose and Want2Scrap bling.

 

 

This card is for the following challenges:

SSIC The Door

Can you believe it is Sunday already - that means it is time for this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge - it has been so inspiring seeing all of the cards that are being added to each weeks challenge.

This weeks challenges is brought to us by Rebekkah:

 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.''  Mt. 7:7-8 7

Rebekkahs' challenge is  have a window or a door on your creation.

Which was easy when you own the Darkroom Door The Door image - I love this set and have coloured it using the Crayon Resist Technique and along with the Cracked Glass Technique.

I always have a little chuckle when I attempt the Cracked Glass Technique - the first time I did I I had seen that someone put it in the freezer once they had added the glaze - so I did that and an hour layer when I brought it out it was covered in frost and icicles - I did not know whether to cook it for dinner or throw it out!  LOL!  I have actually kept it and have it framed on my desk as a reminder....LOL!

This card is for the following challenges:

Drunken Stampers - Tell us what you did this Summer

Totally Gorjuss - Its a Man thing

Cards - Favorite Vacation Destination - The Rocks in Sydney

Crafty Ann's - something outside comfort zone - Cracked glass Technique
