Word Art Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to be a guest designer this month for Word Art Wednesday! Every two weeks they have a new challenge with an optional scripture verse to download and use in your projects. They sure would love it if you use the verse on your project!

I created two cards for the challenge because I couldn't make up my mind about my background color. I changed out the color and one image is colored darker than the other one. 











Supplies

Arteza Brush Markers(bumblebee yellow, orange, green tea, olive green and denim blue)

So Saffron and Marigold Morning inks(SU!)

 

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and thanks so much for stopping by!

Give Thanks

Happy Saturday! It's the beginning of September and that means the fall creating can begin. I love this time of year! Today's card features Give Thanks and the brand new coordinating dies.




For the wreath, I ink blended marmalade, buttercup and parsley inks onto white cardstock and splattered with gold and brown paint. Next, I stamped the leaf image with wheat ink over the background and die cut the images out. I stamped the berries with wheat onto brushed gold cardstock and die cut. Originally I left them plain, but decided to add paint splatters to them too.

I embossed the thanks sentiment with gold powder, die cut and stacked with 3 more plain die cuts to create depth. I assembled the wreath as seen, adding more paint splatters afterwards. I glued the word in place, added foam tape to the back and set aside to make the background.

The background is really easy. I die cut the panel, placed the Leaf Branch stencil over the top and inked with antique linen distress ink. I splattered with gold and brown paint and stamped the sentiment with walnut stain distress ink. I matted the panel with dark brown, put it on a white card base and attached the wreath to the front.

I'm Here for You

 

Happy Saturday! I love stencils and the new Bubbles stencil is so much fun! Plus, it's easy to mix with other stencils as you will see in today's card.



My card started with a second generation inking of the Grunge Gears stencil(take stencil off project after inking, spritz with water and lay on top of another price of cardstock). Then, I used the brand new Bubbles stencil with orchid opulence and lavender lace ink(SU!) making sure to move the stencil when I changed colors. 

The stamped the bold sentiments from Here for You with versafine claire nocturne ink directly on the panel, matted with black and attached to a white card base. The girl image is from A Little Snarky and I adore her. I colored her with Prima watercolors(#'s 20, 22, 24, 41, 10). Her multicolored shirt was a little tricky and I took it slow so it didn't bleed onto the skin. I fussy cut the image out and glued to the front.

Beach Time

Nothing quite says summer like a day at the beach. I haven't been yet this season and I really want to go after creating this card. I am wishing I was sitting in the chair soaking up the sun, sights and sounds. How about you?



I stamped the image from By the Sea with versafine clair nocturne ink on mixed media paper and cut it with a stitched rectangle die. I colored the image with prima watercolor sets Woodlands(sand ridge, cavern, pond), Terrain(vine leaf) and Tropical(hibiscus, ocean). 

Once dry, I stamped the sentiment directly on the front with black. I matted the panel with white and attached to a kraft card base. I added the sun from Melt for You after when I felt it needed a little something extra. It was nice and relaxing to sit and watercolor this image.
