The LORD is my LIGHT and my Salvation

Hi Friends! 

I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend!  I am sharing this Mixed Media card on the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps blog and wanted to share it with you here as well.

This card was designed with the Mini Flower Blocks 3, Shining Light and Typewriter Text Background Clear Stamps from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps using the Freshly Made Sketches FMS239 Challenge along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSSIC239 “Photo Inspiration” Challenge and the Splitcoaststampers’ CAS379 “One or More Flowers” Challenge.

If you have not already visited the above sites, I hope you will find the time to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Embossing Buddy®, stamp the rose image from the Mini FlowerBlocks 3 using Versamark™ Ink, apply black embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

Use an AquaPainter™ along with Stampin’ Write Markers to color the rose- add the color directly from the markers first, then soften and blend lightly with the AquaPainter™ .

Add the dark background with a Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen Black marker, trim the image and mount onto Basic Black cardstock.

Ink the Typewriter Text Background stamp with Blushing Bride Classic Ink, stamp onto a piece of retired Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper (DSP), ink again and stamp onto a piece of retired So Saffron DSP ( I love this subtle background stamp!) :-)

Trim the DSP panels and mount onto the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

Ink the sentiment from Shining Light clear stamp set using Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink onto the So Saffron DSP panel, add two small pieces of White Tea Lace Paper Doilies to the corners, add the Gold Cord using hot glue and add the rose floral image using dimensional foam.

Add Clear Wink of Stella® to the blossoms to finish off the card.

This was a fun card to create and I think that the Shining Light verses along with the images from the Mini Flower Blocks 3 stamp set can not only make a multitude of cards but they would also be great for Creative Worship with Bible Art Journaling :-)
