All Things New.....

Well, in the midst of all my busyness I managed to get a little under the weather as well.  To say that my creative mojo is a bit stifled would be an understatement right now, but I did finally drag myself into my craft room and put together this little card.  This is one of my favorite scripture verses because it holds so much promise.

I am entering this card into the Word Art Wednesday, Scripture Thursday and Stampin Sisters in Christ challenges.  Thanks for visiting my blog!
Blessings!

Color Scheme and a Sketch

Green and cream are beautiful colors, but seem a bit bland by themselves.  Never the less, Creative Inspirations has challenged their blog followers to create an item using just these two colors.  Flesh tones and hair color were the exception, but since I don't yet have any of those cutesy stamps with boys, girls and  animals, and since I'm not good at using coloring yet I decided to use what I have and see how it would go.  So here is the card I created.  I attempted to make up the lack of color by adding more texture using my embossing folders.  The colors don't show as well in the pic.  They really are brighter than this.  But I do think it will be a nice card to send for some solemn occasion such as sympathy or get well.

This card also meets the requirements for the challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Here is the sketch they provided.  

Perfect Sentiments Challenge #17

Hi!  Here is my card for the  Perfect Sentiments Challenge  this week.  I used craft card stock for the base and embossed the front, added the dimensional handmade paper flower with a button for the center.  The black die cut and then embossed butterfly seemed fitting for a card expressing a sort of sad sentiment.  The sentiment is stamped onto deckle cut card stock with a 2nd button affixed to it.
