Long lost crafting time

As I said in an earlier post, I have not been getting any craft time. I made this back in March as I used Unity's March 2014 KOTM. ....bad girl. I like to finish what I've started in one sitting. The sentiment is SU~Elements of Style. Added some glitter for interest.

Splitcoast color challenge and dirty dozen April showers challenge

I made this for the color challenge and the Dirty Dozen challenge. Tuesday's colors were pacific point, real red and pumpkin pie. For the Dirty dozen, I did April showers by doing a random layer of UTEE for a wet look on my flowers

Sunday crafting

I am missing crafting. I usually always finish what I've started...but I have a pile gathering of unfinished projects. Simply haven't had the time I would like to devote to it! With that said, I made this crayon bg for the mix this past Friday's Mix challenge-to use crayons on our projects. I used crayon shavings, heated with my heat gun and then smeared the colors around with a tissue. I repeated it until I liked the look. I decided to use this bg to make my card in honor of our featured stamper Catluvr2 on Splitcoaststampers this week...she does beautiful work and I chose this card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=334464
Obviously, I changed the bg, the flourishes, the butterfly to a bird and the sentiment. Also, changed the direction the flourishes were going.

I used Unity stamps-Birdie Inspiration and Empowered Words, craft white ink, white ep, word label punch, white ribbon and the tulip ef

Enjoy your week!

Delight in the Lord

Here's a lovely scripture card using the biblical verse, Psalm 37:4. This sentiment and heart stamp are from the Unity Stamp Co kit called "Devoted".  It's such a wonderful set with several different scriptures.  I adore it! 

I also tried something new.  I made some watercolor paper and used bubble wrap for a unique look.  Just take several colors of ink and blot on the bubble wrap, then spray with misted water.  Press a piece of white cardstock into your mix.   Repeat inking and pressing until you have the coverage you want, then let your paper dry.  I guarantee you'll have fun with the process! If you look at the close-up, you'll see Smooch Glitz glitter polish on the sentiment and details on the heart which, by the way, were heat embossed.  The May Arts Ribbon is the perfect compliment.  Happy crafting!
