He'll never leave you

 I have another page from my mini art journal to share with you featuring products in stock at Creative Worship Stamps. 

To create the background, I ink smooshed two colors so distress ink onto the watercolor paper background using a small acrylic block. Next, I lightly stamped images from Pick a Number and Mini Marks 1 in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide. I stamped the Typewriter Text Background on white card stock and then die cut the hexagons before stamping their outlines in black ink and inking around the edges with a blending brush and Salvaged Patina Distress Ink. The butterfly was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturn Ink on mixed media paper, fussy cut, and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I added some shimmer with Glitter Gel Pens and white acrylic paint splatters over top. Some metallic silver thread and blue sequins complete this page.

Tea Card Set

 I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this tea themed card set. I chose four double sided papers from the Bloom & Wild Paper Pad as my starting point and cut them down as follows:

• Floral Piece = 5.25" x 3"
• Plain coordinating side = 5.25" x 1.5"    

  I trimmed 2.25" from my card front so that it measured 5.5" x 3.25". I used the cut off strip to die cut a strip of paper lace using the Crochet Dies from Tim Holtz.

The white card panel measures 5.25" x 2.5" and it fits perfectly beside the colored piece.  I inked up one side of my Lace Embossing Folder with distress oxide and stamped it on the colored piece before adding it to the inside of the card. 

 I stamped a sentiment from the Fear Not  and flowers from  Floral Cluster Summer Roses  on the inside left panel and added that piece of paper lace to the white panel.

I die cut the teacup and sentiment using the Coffee or Tea? Dies  and embossed the cup with the 3D Doily Embossing Folder. I inked over the embossing with white pigment ink and spritzed it with shimmer spray before adding the "thinking of you" sentiment.

Travel the World through Books

 Here's another reading themed card using products in stock at Creative Worship Stamps. The background was created by stamping various images from the Vintage Snippets and Vintage Postcards stamp sets on kraft paper and inking around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I printed the map from Vintage Collage Line Art Printable, tore it out of the white card stock and inked around it's edges with the same distress ink. All the other images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.
