Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #140

Sunday, May 20, 2012
If you're looking for my Christmas Card Challenges post, please scroll down a bit. Thanks! :)


Traci is our hostess this week.

Scripture:
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
Ephesians 4:29

Challenge:
Build up your card by adding layers, paper-piecing, using stacked flowers, etc. 

Sponsor:
Tami Mayberry - One lucky winner will win a stamp set. Thanks, Tami!

I had a lot of fun making this card! I just kept layering it up! I used the A Happy Heart paper pad by My Mind's Eye. It was one I hadn't used in a long time, so I decided to pull it out from the back of my stash. I followed an older Verve sketch I found on Pinterest. The stamp is from Sentimental Thank You by There She Goes...love that set!! I sponged around it with Memento Cantaloupe to help it match the patterned paper and accented it with a blingy circle. I finished off my card with some Papertrey Ink ribbon and a Wild Orchid Crafts flower. 


Other Challenges I Used:
Friday Mashup #59 - ribbons and bows
Truly Scrumptious #80 - anything goes
Creative Card Crew #10 - sentiment as focal point

Be sure you check out out the rest of the creations from the design team!! Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Candace, this card is so pretty. I love all the different designs on the papers that you used. You matched them up so well. I really struggle with dp. I rarely get the dp that I have look good with anything else. Maybe I just need to get new dp??? The rose on that bow is just the perfect embellishment for your card! I hope you are having a blessed week!
