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:

Listen Honey....

I had time to do a quick MojoMonday card today before picking up our girls from their weekend away...this was after over 20 text messages and numerous phone calls...DD2 experienced extreme homesickness, it was only her second time being away from home...and I would say her last for a while. I was happy to hear that DD1 had taken good care of her and even tucked her up into bed as tiredness played a BIG part!! It was so lovely to see their happy faces today and to have them rushing up to us arms open wide for a cuddle - awww - these moments are special!!

This is MojoMondays celebration week - they have reached their 100th challenge and are celebrating this week with a new challenge every day. This one is MOJOJANETTE and made one quick card....which is great as I have to get some made for one of the boutiques for Tuesday...so I am hoping to get a few made tomorrow....I will definitely we using this one again!

I have chalked the image and coloured the coffee mug with red glitter pen and then added Dimensional magic, to give it a more realistic look! The image has been layered onto black CS and attached to the background DP which has had layered torn CS, DP and lace. A hydrangea flower was added, which I had added flower stamens to and I finished it all off with brads.

Thank you for stopping by and for your encouraging comments, you make my day...I love knowing you have been here!! Enjoy your day...chill out and maybe even get in come 'THERAPY!' LOL! God bless you!
