COF August Challenge

The challenge was to make a monochromatic card using the color of your birthstone as the color. My birthday is in August and is the peridot. So I used various shades of yellowish green for my card.  Hope you will go by and check out all the beautiful cards of my Christian sisters:

Word Art Wednesday #20

A card for Word Art Wednesday. A great scripture was provided. I used river rock ink to stamp leaves over the top and also on the card base. I made this flower with a diecut. I love discovering spiritual and uplifting challenges like this. Spreading the word in the beautiful way of paper crafting is a perfect way to share the Good news with the world. ....so the world will know!!!

Color Dare Challenge #57

I am so looking forward to spring this year. Springtime in Texas is just one of our prettiest seasons. I love this stamp from Deadbeat Designs with some of Texas' best known cities and towns that I found in a great little stamp store in Salado, Texas a couple of years ago. I cuttlebugged the star background and I stamped the bluebonnet and Indian paintbrush with a retired Stampin' Up set that I adore.
I used markers to color the ink onto the rubber and used the fun "huff and puff" method (or that's what I call it). The leaves stamp is a Studio G stamp from Michael's great collection of $1 stamps a while back.
I hope  you will join us in the Color Dare Challenge this week and add your link to Mr. Linky over on the color dare blog.
I look forward to seeing what you make these colors do for you. They are a great combination with all kinds of possibilities.
