Challenge entries

I was able to make a couple of challenge entries this week for two of my favorite blogs! 
The first challenge is for Word Art Wednesday's anything goes challenge using this beautiful verse from  Karen Murray:

 

Diane Nobel also writes a powerful devotion about the redemption and mercy  in her own life!
If you would like the colored version of the is scripture click here! You will also find more details about the challenge entry, there is still lots of time to give it a try!!  Thank you Word Art Wednesday for this beautiful verse!!   Here is my card: 5x7 size

The paper is from a 6x6 pad I purchased over the weekend, Prima's Seashore pad

 

The next card is for Mojo Mondays's blog challenge, and this week there is a very nice prize offered by Verve Stamps!!  Thank you Mojo for hosting this nice challenge!!  I find sketchs to be such a valuable tool, I have printed the entire collection of MM's sketches, they sit in a three ring binder waiting for me! when you go the the site you will see below the header a row of sketches for 2010-2014, I have been printing these since 2011.  I know there are other sites using the same idea but I love the consistence and ease of use from MM!

 

This is the sketch challenge:

 

 

Here is my card: A 6 size

 

 

you can't see the gold sparkly I've painted lightly over the dress in this photo, but it looks quite nice in real life!  The image is one of my fine art digitals "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt" and the papers are by 7 Gypsies and G45.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have the time to try a challenge or two!
