SSIC Going Green

Happy Sunday - and with Sunday comes the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge - we wlove to see so many of you playing along - you are all so inspiring!  This weeks sponsor is the ever lovely MariLynn

MariLynn has chosen the following scripture:

[Those who trust in the Lord] shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:8

MariLynn's challenge is to use our green thumbs... either use green on a card/project or use an image of something planted.

My image is from Heartfelt Creations™  I have used Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares that has been cut with the Grand Calibur.  The paper is KandCompany and the bling from Want2Scrap

Welcome Little One

I have a little bit of vintage to share with you today, it is my favourite style and I cannot stay away from it for too long!  Then quick and easy cards are great for a time for me, but I start yearning for something a little bit more....

and this divine free digital image just called my name.  It is layered onto a Spellbinders Labels Eight Nestibilities and one of the gorgeous Fleur de Lis Squares.  All Dies have been cut with my 'trusty' Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine - love it!

The sentiment tag is from the retired Layers of Color Sentimental Banners clear art stamp set

A Seam Binding Bow and a KaiserCraft rose, along with some gorgeous lace, given to me by my dear friend Maxine (aka Kiwime) 

finishing off with some pearls added along the lace.

SSIC Layers

This weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge is hosted by the lovely Miesje - who has chosen :

 "If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him?” Romans 8:31b-32

Miesje has challenged us to create a card or project that uses everything! The opposite of a CAS – toss on the embellishments and/or different papers, textures.

This challenge worked perfectly for me as I wanted to create a special Sympathy card for a dear friend who lost her husband and I wanted to fill it with all of the embellishments that she loves (and I do too) and have it overflowing with ambiance and love.

KandCompany paper, lace, pearls, Layers of Color Art Stamps, Spellbinders Paper Arts  Dies, Mulberry Roses, Seam Binding - all of those divine things we love to use.

Lots of details - anything but CAS and one of my favourite styles of cards !

This card is for the following challenges:

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards - Fancy Folds

Fussy and Fancy - Anything but a Square/Rectangle

Hotshot Crafts -  Ribbon

Our Craft Lounge - Spring

Simply Create Too - Spring

Stampin' For The Weekend - Anything Goes
