In my thoughts...

 I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today sharing this masculine card that features their O Christmas Tree die and a sentiment from one of their sympathy sets. 

The trees use just the die cut from O Christmas Tree and were colored by scribbling different shades of green Arteza Brush Pens and blending with water. I also splattered them with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink and black acrylic paint. The background is a piece of canvas paper that I die cut and inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Psalm 9:9

"The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." Psalm 9:9

Today's mixed media card was so fun to create. I started with a piece of yellow card stock and stamped both the Cheesecloth Background and Vintage Ledger page in Vintage Photo distress ink. I added some flowers/leaves from the Vintage Butterflies & Blooms set in black ink, laid down some text washi tape and inked around the edges in vintage photo distress ink. The tags were both stamped with the Psalm 23 background and I added a few leaf branches before inking around the edges with vintage photo distress ink. The main images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I added white acrylic paint splatters to both the background and the stamped images.  Some gingham ribbon and tiny rhinestones complete this card.

Daisies

 Today's card features a whole bunch of products from Creative Worship Stamps. I discarded the background piece several times, and kept pulling it out of the scrap pile and adding one more thing till it finally reached a usable stage. (lol) I think the layers are Vintage Ledger Page, Peaceful Botanicals, Floating Circles Stencil, Going Postal, Postage Stamp Cover Plate, & Rectangles & More Stencil.
