The Card Concept:

It's time for a new challenge at the Summer Session of the Card Concept.

'Sunset at the Shore'

The shells were my inspiration for my mixed media scripture card.

Betsy's beautiful scripture verses were first stamped, then clear embossed onto

watercolor paper. I used an acrylic stamping block with water colors to 'stamp'

my background. 

Such a meaningful Bible verse for today. Might have to do several of these!

 Have a blessed week, friends!

Supplies

Be Strong & Courageous

PapertreyInk's Make It Monday features Ashley this week, showcasing

Negative Die Cuts

What a fun way to add color and texture to your card design! 

I started with a Shape Shifter die and backed it with an aqua shimmer.

The flowers are from Farmers Market Florals, with a few leaves from 

The Sweet Life added.

Popped up one of the blooms with foam.

Lastly added a bit of gold Stickles to the small flowers' centers.

Hope your week is crafty!

Hi everyone!

This week's Make it Monday is with Dawn McVey, who show's us how to layer 

images over patterns. Say the word, 'layer', and I love it! 

Dawn demonstrated her layering magic with 3 bg inks, which gives the image a 

different look each time.

Once your stamps are in place in the Misti, it really is easy to do 3 cards.

1st off is this one with snow ink and and Dawn's Cover Up: Hexagons stamp.

I used Dawn's Raspberry Suite sets, combining the floral sets with Cup of Cheer,

a Christmas set I gave a seasonless look to with Gran's Garden & Garden Party.

2nd card's Hexagon stamped with Cocoa Bean.

The tag and card bases were cut from Noted Pinked A2 Vertical Dies.

To give my cup and coffee pot some dimension, I edged them with copics,

G40 & G43, almost a perfect match to Vintage Jadeite.

And the 3rd card inked with a Versa Magic ink called Pumpkin Spice.

Have fun playing along on PTI's blog where you'll find Dawn's video.

All stamps used are from PapertreyInk and if you click on the ones you

Happy Crafting!
