Happy Sunday stampers! It is time for another challenge from Stampin' Sisters in Christ, where all of our challenges are based on scripture. This week's hostess is my dear friend and earnest Christ follower Traci, who selected this verse from Revelations 21:5 "And He who sits on the throne said 'Behold I am making all things new.' And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true.'"
Her challenge is to use something new on your card or project this week. It can be a new stamp, paper, embellishment, or a new technique or idea that is new to you! Just have fun with your creation!
What a great challenge in this first, newest month of the year, use something new! God has made all things new and we get our chance to create when we sit down with our stamps and ink. I did order a new stamp set (or two) for myself for Christmas and am pleased to pull out this new stamp from Flourishes. I love looking at the birds and squirrels outside the kitchen window, little spots of color and activity in the winter whiteness.
I used prismacolor pencils on PTI fine linen paper and edged the border of the image with gold stickles, alternating layers of cream and fine linen paper with a touch of patterned paper from Stampin' Up. I did have a lot of fun with this, enjoyed the coloring and the quality of all the supplies I was using. That's our hope for you this week is that you can find some time to sit and create and have fun. Show us something new!
Stamps: Flourishes Snow Wonderful and coordinating die
Ink: memento black
Paper: PTI fine linen, vintage cream, SU patterned paper (retired)
Other: prismacolor pencils, gold stickles, cuttlebug embossing folder, satin ribbon, MS branch punch, PTI button

Was so nice to hear from you....I just had assumed you were busy with life.....hope all is well with you and yours....I know myself, I have less time for blogging.....have had a new pup since November plus Angel who is just a bit over a year old...they keep me hopping...
Anyhow....this card is a beauty...I have yet to put this set to ink......you may have inspired me to break into the packaging....hugs
What a wonderful card! I love the colors on those cute little birds. I am listening to the cardinals chirping outside my window as I type this. They sit on they bird feeder and talk to me! Have a great week!
Oh, such a lovely card! Pretty image and coloring and pretty layers!
This is beautifully done Peggysue! The birds are gorgeous in blues!
Hello Peggysue - I love it that you and Traci used the same images this week and your cards are both so lovely but very different! Gorgeous colours and colouring - and the layers - totally divine! Thanks for always sharing and inspiring! {{{hugs}}}
Hi Peggysue! I'm super excited to have you join us for the Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop. It's such a blessing to be partnering now with Stampin' Sisters in Christ. I would also be delighted if you would stop by my blog, and if we could become followers of one another's blogs. I'm really looking forward to working with you.
Have a blessed week!
Hugs,
Karen
