WAW58 and CR84FN68

Because it is December and I am short on time especially in my stamp room, I combined the WAW58 challenge with the CR84FN68 challenge. The scripture is the WAW verse this week and the colors are from the CR84FN challenge: burgandy, gray, and ivory. I stamped some flowers in sahara sand over the verse, and I also used platinum ink rubbed over the embossed area of the burgandy background. I added punched gray leaves and burgandy paper roses the edges of the nestabilities shapes.

Making use of some new tools and stamps for this card this week. I had some gift cards I went shopping with and love using those 40% coupons that they read right from the screen of your phone. Isn't technology amazing??? Wanted to use some rich fall colors on this and how I love putting the scripture out in whatever ways it can be seen. So again, technology is amazing. I hope these words are read by eyes that want to see, and lives that want to be changed. And because of technology, people I don't even know may see this. and find the message just those truths they need for their day.

I'm trying out a new embossing folder from Paper Studio. I embossed the blue paper as well, cut them out and added them to the embossed background. The stars are glittered stickers, a fast embellishment.

Check out their challenge HERE.

Saturday my new stamps I ordered from Our Daily Bread arrived. I was so happy that they are now selling some of their beautiful crosses and verses as seperate or smaller stamp sets, making them fit my budget better. The challenge's theme this week is "New Life." Christ has given me  a new life through Him. That is why I used this cross. I added the leaves and flowers because they represent the new life after winter. I used a white background for the washing away of sins that Christ's blood gave to us. I am so glad to serve a God who is a" God of do overs" and does not give up on us when we don't get it right the first time. His mercy is so great. No wonder we praise His holy name. Easter is the joyous celebration of the Resurrection, my new life in Christ.

The embossing folder is by Paper Studio and the leaf punch is from Martha Stewart. The flower punch is a mini punch from Creatve Memories. The border punch is Stampin' Up.
