The Joy of the Lord

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a great weekend!  Today I am sharing a quick card using Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps  Titmouse and Hummingbird with Scripture digital stamps.    

 

I incorporated the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 #126 Sketch Challenge along with the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.

 

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Trim a piece of green designer series paper to 5 ¼” x 5 ¼”, mount onto dark gray cardstock, trim and mount onto a 5 ½” square card base. Trim the vertical panel from a light pink designer paper, mount onto dark gray cardstock and mount onto the card front.

2). Using a word processing program or photo editing software, import the Titmouse and Hummingbird with Scripture images, re-arrange to leave enough room to die cut and trim and print out onto white cardstock.

3). Use a rectangle stitched die to cut out the titmouse and hand trim the sentiment.

Use a water brush along with water color pencils to watercolor the titmouse image and once dry, add shimmer to the titmouse using a clear glitter pen and highlights to the berries with the Sharpie® Extra Fine White Paint Pen.

4). Mount both onto dark gray cardstock, trimming close to the edges and mount both onto the card front using dimensional foam. 

6). Add a few pearls to the corners to finish off the card.
