Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge # 202!

It is Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge # 202!!
The talented team at Word Art Wednesday has another great Bible verse, 
Devotion and set of cards to inspire your crafting this week and help you to send a blessing to someone near or far!

This weeks Verse From Karen Murray



I had just the Stamp I wanted to use, I thought this image looked so peaceful:
This is a Toybox stamp.

I have to say I love the stamps that are copies of fine art, 
only problem is they are usually hard to get a good image and color!


This one was no exception!



Wrong paper and wrong ink:



My trusty Speed ball press was not handy:


So I did this to get enough pressure:




Not very glamorous but it Works!




I used colored pencils and Spectrum Noir pens to color


I wasn't crazy about this so I stamped another image and colored and put it on with dimensional tape:
I also took off the map background

I think I should use this scripture in my banner, it is such a lovely way to live!  Sometimes I forget to follow after peace, that I have to make Peace a choice.  I think we all do!

Thank you for stopping by, I hope to see your entry at Word Art Wednesday!

this actually is one of my favourite verses, Ginny!

.. and going to have to make a card out of it soon God willing ..

... think "edifying one another" is the key to successful walk.. unless we build other up we cannot truly be happy in our selves I believe.

Sounds contradictory but so often is in our Christian walk.

Love your card esp second one and ye have done that too standing on big stamps :D

BTW have you tried sanding rubber and clear ones you have trouble with.. ie rubbing a distressing block over the surface of the stamp as that make huge difference on not much used stamps.

Thanks so much for popping over.

Whatever it takes! Loved the idea. I haven't tried that yet but I have done some strange things to make things work. Lovely cards. Hope you are getting things packed and ready to move to the warm south. You won't be too far there so I can visit or meet in the middle! :)

Hi MAry.
This is a rubber stamp image, I purchased on ebay. It is a very hard stamp to get a good image. I will look for it to find the maker.

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue. You can also

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
