Navy and Brown DO go together!

I cannot tell you how many times I have told my DH that you CANNOT wear brown with navy, especially brown shoes with navy pants. (no, no, no!!!!!) But, it seems to work well on this card.

I just love this image from Our Daily Bread Designs (can you tell? hehehe) It conveys a feeling of peace, and yet also a feeling of strength when I look at it. I used Night of Navy and Close to Cocoa CS from SU and some more of that Amazing Grace DP from Flair Designs. I printed out the sentiment, which is a portion of Psalm 27:1, on off-white CS, layered with colored CS and attached loops of ribbon and a brad. I left the inside plain with lots of white space for writing.


I used my Copics to color the image. This time, I colored in the sky first, then added the rays of light from the lighthouse. I like the way it turned out better than the last time.

I wanted to try something different with the embellies and so I used a cream satin ribbon and a corsage pin that I threaded beads onto. The last bead is glued over the point of the pin. (Do you know that pin is left over from my wedding 9 years ago?)

The flower is a silk stem that I took apart and the brads are Basic Grey Urban Prairie. (Yes, I use them A LOT!)

Overall I am very pleased with this card. I had no idea where it was going when I started but I like the finished product.

Blessings!

Happy Monday!

Well, this weekend was busy, as usual. Two birthday parties, a wedding shower, church and yardwork! Whew! I am tired all over again just thinking about it! hehehehe

I DID get to do some crafting, though. Here are a few new things....

This card was inspired by a lady that came to look at my cards at the Library Fund Raiser. She asked if I had anything with Lighthouses. I remembered this stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs and thought it would be perfect! I used my MS Picket Fence Border Punch to accessorize the look. The CS is corner punched with the Fiskars Heritage Corner Punch.

Here are the Copic colors I used to create this image. I was going for a night-time look, not sure if I pulled it off, but I think it looks nice.

I layered the image with soft grey and royal blue CS and some soft blue/green DP from my stash...not sure what the name/maker is. I used paper flowers and gemstone brads from Spare Parts to embellish.

Don't you love this scripture? I know I do...it reminds me that no matter what is going on in my life, God is present and in control. I can rest in His peace knowing that He takes care of all my needs.

I followed the theme from the front to the inside and used my MS Picket Fence Border Punch again to just give it that little extra "something."

Blessings!
