PSC05 Perfect Sentiments Challenge

Our challenge this week was to use a Thanksgiving Sentiment and use brads or eyelets.
I used a new technique I learned while blog hopping.  I altered a piece of pattern paper by stamping leaves in a couple of different distress inks around the edges.

Here is what the paper looked like when I started:

I used a few pumps of glimmer mist & stamped the green & brown leaves.  I also cut out some gold & reddish leaves & attached the around the card with pop dots.  I truly love the effect of altering the paper-it takes on a whole new look.

Mojo213, Ribbon Carousel & Birthday Sundaes #34 Challenge

I had so much fun doing this card!  I started with a square.  I ran my circle thru my Big Shot & embossed it with my new Cuddle Bug die.  I sanded off the lifted pattern of vines & birds.  

I used the sketch from Mojo213 Challenge

I used ribbon required by Ribbon Carousel RCC27 

I used a Birthday sentiment required by Birthday Sundaes #34

I made my flower outside with SU punches & the inside of the flower with Martha Stewart's flower punch. put a dimensional under the inside flower.  

The paper was from Tim Holtz.

This Art That Heals

Cassandra had started a new site:  Wall Art Wednesday project where I post a scripture, special word or quote and we create our art around that piece. 
Can't wait to see what she posts today!  We need to encourage others as part of our walk with the Lord.  I love to bring a smile or a tiny bit of encouragement to others that are in a difficult situation.  Nowadays more than ever there seems to be more hurting people everywhere.
