Prayers During This Difficult Time

Just here to post a card that I finished this afternoon for The Flower Challenge. I believe I will be just under the wire! I've been struggling the past couple of days with lost MOJO. Ugh, I hate it when I go through these times. Do you?

I made this simple by not coloring the flowers, but I like the way it came together with the black and white and pop of color. I used an older SU patterned paper and paired it with one of the new colors, Magenta Madness. The flower stamp is MFT,s Fine-Lined Floral and Sending Prayers with the matching die. I heat embossed the sentiment with Gina K's Black Fine Detailed embossing powder and layered the prayer cut out.  I also used the MFT Stitched Rectangle Die-namics.

That's about it. I have a very messy craft area to clean up and think about supper. I hope you have a blessed and safe weekend.

Blessings,

Sending Birthday Wishes

I was glad to be able to get up in my Craft area to put together a card for two challenges today. I'll be posting this over on CAS Colours and Sketches and The Flower Challenge.

This sketch will be one I will keep in my sketch folder. It came together quickly, and who doesn't like quick, and you can use a variety of images to surround the circle. I was going to use a larger flower, but this trio with a matching die is one I have not used from the Garden Treasure stamp set by Altenew.

I used SU Balmy Blue and So Saffron as the main colors. I embossed the BB with the SU Subtle Dienamics folder to give it some texture and the circle was cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment is from a long-retired SU stamp, Butterfly Basics. I colored the flowers using Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Peacock Feathers, and Mustard Seed. The leaves were colored using Altenew Frayed Leaf, Gina K's Fresh Asparagus, and some pearls to finish it off.

That is about it for today. I need to pick up my Walmart grocery order in a little bit and then have some super. I pray you enjoy a blessed Sunday and stay safe and well.

Blessings,
