Oh Happy Day! Playing in the Rain

Easter-Spring, Just Because Cards /

I just love that stinkin’ cute turtle from our Playing in the Rain stamp set, not to mention the cloud stamps and dies. Just add a little color with our Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers and this card really comes to life. I used a blending brush and some of the Azure Afternoon ink to create the blue sky. The flowers are colored with a Daffodil Delight Blend marker.

I started with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Azure Afternoon blue to match the sky. The clouds are stamped in Smoky Slate and the turtle, flowers and greeting in Memento Black ink. I used the Crumb Cake and Old Olive Blends to color the turtle. He is so sweet, just look at that face. I created the grass freehand with Old Olive and Granny Apple Green Blends.

I am not sure what the weather is like in your neighborhood, but our forecast here is calling for clear skies and a high of 90. Looks like this is the perfect card for my neighborhood. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

God so loved the world -Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

“God so loved the world that God gave God’s only Son.” – Jn. 3:16

Today’s gospel is a familiar one and yet the message of truth, love, hope and mercy is always comforting.

As John reflects in the gospel, God showed his love for us and his faithfulness by sending us Jesus so that all who believe in Him might have eternal life. God was not trying to trick us. Jesus was not sent to condemn the world but to save it. Jesus through His most merciful and sacred heart continues to call countless people in our world to be a witness of God’s love.

If we encourage one another, trust in the mercy of Christ and live in peace, God will never abandon us, not even in our darkest moments. While we always need to hold fast the truth and remain faithful in prayer, we do so knowing that God is asking us to put aside any differences and bring more love into the world. With all violence and hatred it seems elementary that we would want to foster peace, offer hope and remove all division. But we are human, broken and weak so we must lean on the faithfulness of a God who loves us and longs to be in relationship with us.

God our Father, thank you for sending your Son to save us from ourselves.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Playing in the Rain-Favorite Things Friday!

Summer Fun, Thinking of You /

Here is another card that features our new Azure Afternoon cardstock. I have to say I am really loving this shade of blue. Fun fact, one of my favorite things is a rainy day. Not all of the time like in Seattle, but I love me a good summer thunderstorm, and like the card says, rainy days are better when you share them with someone special!

This is a clean and simple card and it did not take much time at all to create the panel of faux Designer Series Paper. I figured just because the Playing in the Rain DSP is retired doesn’t mean we cannot create our own. I stamped the umbrellas with Memento Black ink and colored them in with a few Stampin’ Blend Combo markers. The greeting is also stamped in Memento black and I used the coordinating dies to cut one umbrella as an extra pop on my greeting. With the Blending Brush and some Azure Afternoon ink, I added a bit of color to my greeting.

Super fun, and simple. I mounted my faux DSP to a layer of Azure Afternoon and then to a layer of Black. Isn’t it amazing how just one layer can tie all the colors together. In this case it just happened to be a Basic Black layer, but it did the trick and soften the card. Have fun creating….Happy Stamping!

Simple And Dainty Flowers

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You /

Sometimes the simple things in life are the best. They are not free mind you, but the best. Every once in awhile it is fun to create a tone on tone card using our Basic White cardstock. For today’s card I embossed the front panel of my card with the Fern 3-D embossing folder and then added a layer of Basic White using some of our Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Of course before mounting my second white layer, I stamped the flowers from the Dainty Flower stamp set with Memento Black ink and colored them with Poppy Parade and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. The greeting is also from this set and is stamped in Memento Black ink. I layered the greeting using Stampin’ Dimensionals as well.

I really love how the tone on tone white makes it super simple to make this card look elegant. Happy Stampin’!
