Stampscapes weekend

I spent the weekend helping some gals learn scenic stamping. We had a great time and unfortunately the snowy scene does not show well. I should have used glue that dried white not clear.

Flourishes double challenge week

I am using this card for both challenges this week on Flourishes blog.  One was to use a tag and the other one was to use a bow or ribbon.  I love this stamp set of the Christmas doves, this is the small size and there is a larger one also.  The ribbon is from Michaels and the flower is Belle Fleur.  A white peel off finished the card.  BG paper is Anna Griffin.

Our challenge this week on ODBD blog is to wing it! I thought their image with this bird was perfect for this.  I'm making lots of sympathy cards and others for our church bazaar and hope they make some money for missions from them. Our challenge on the Stampin Sisters in Christ blog this week is about "peace" I think this is a peaceful looking card and knowing our loved ones are in heaven brings a little peace in the midst of sorrow.  Copics to color this and airbrush it, spellbinders label 17 and the pretty DP is from g c d studios from Hobby Lobby.  Some beautiful silk ribbon and the corners were made by cutting 1 1/2 inch squares, then turn them point to point cut them to make trianges from them and use a MS border punch to get matching corners. Some pretty soft blue pearls and it's all done. Thanks for stopping by and please visit the blogs for the DT's cards, they are always fabulous!
