Flourishing Notes

 

Today is the 9th of the month and here is my card for another The Three Musketeers post. This round, I was the hostess and sent out a fun floral image and sentiments from Studio Katia called Flourishing Note set.  For June, this is card #142 and we are now in year #12!  I cannot believe this trio has been going strong coming up on 13 years! 

I colored the cute envelope and floral image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I die cut two of the images and that is what I used.   The background panel is a cutting plate from Ellentine called Large Lattice Frame. I layered the image three times and placed it over the card base. I die cut one of the sentiments with a banner die and added foam tape behind it.   I added some Taylored Expressions Black Drop Drops round the image.   I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card!  

Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of pretty cards! Jeanette will be for our July challenge, so please be sure to join us again next month!

Using up UFO's

 

This is my October Crafters of Faith card.  This is a sweet group on SCS that Faye hosts.  I am the hostess this month and gave everyone this challenge:

Scripture:  Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Challenge:  Please make a card that highlights anything with wings--you decide what you want to showcase.

I  first picked a pretty Gina K Designs stamp set called Beautiful Butterflies--and I have the coordinating dies!There are some very pretty images and coordinating sentiments.  I then went to my basket of UFO's--backgrounds and such that I previously made.  I found two watercolored panels that I thought would make pretty butterflies. I stamped three of the images on each panel and then cut them out with the matching dies.  I also had 2 black lattice frames in the basket, so I die cut 2 more from my Ellentina Large Lattice frame.  I glued them together for a bit of dimension on the front of my card. One card base is SU's Pumpkin Pie and the other is TPC's Cocktail Metallic.  The stamped and die cut sentiment is from the same stamp set.  The So Very Grateful is also a Gina K sentiment, from one of her pre-printed packs.  I added some black enamel dots around each of the cards.  

I hope you and the others from the Crafters of Faith group like my card this month! We are to post on the 7th of each month, so if you look on my sidebar, you may see other creations.  I know that there will be many posted in the COF thread on SCS too!  Lisa has our November challenge, so be sure to check back!
