Psalm 19:14 OCCC Card

I love this week's Our Creative Corner Challenge - to make the sentiment the focal point of the card. I will have to participate more than once. Here's my first card.

The verse was printed on the computer. I have to credit Silke, one of OCCC's DTs, for inspiring me with her beautiful creations using the Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I had not heard Martha Stewart was making punches, emailed Silke for the info (which she graciously shared) and had my mom pick it up from the store and send it to Croatia.

I just love butterflies and use it a lot on my projects (and blog too :-)). I've been a Silke follower ever since. Then, it just so happened that she's in the DT for There She Goes, the company that made my first two stamp sets. Imagine how honored I was when she posted cards with my illustrations on them. It was a real treat for me. I'm not trying to score points here (heehee :-)), but I just love Silke's artwork.

The papers are from a Rob and Bob paper stack. Ribbon is by Joanns.

Card Patterns #9

My submission for this week's CP #9. A friend asked me for some sympathy cards. I didn't want to make a a card that's too dark (it seems the typical colors for sympathy ones) , so I made this bright card. For believers, death is a beginning, rather than an ending. I wanted to reflect on my card (1) respect for the memory, and (2) joy for their being finally free from sin.

The verse was printed on the computer. The oval is embossed using Nestabilities.

Supplies:
Stamps: Flowers of Happines (TSG)
Paper: So Saffron, SAB DSP

His Holy Name Challenge and Scripture Challenge Projects

Here are my entries to the His Holy Name Challenge for RIGHTEOUS and for the Scripture Challenge for GRACE:


This pink/black paper was designed by me. I've been trying to make some pretty damask patterned papers. This is my first attempt. More details here.


A quick project I'm making with the young girls from our church. More details here.
