SSIC #153-Rejoice In the Lord

Stampin Sisters In Christ-Challenge 153 Use sentiment with no stamped image

I started with MME background paper, added 1/2 page K&Co at top & 1/2 page olive green (run thru embossing folder & distressed) on bottom.  Then layered 1/2 a doily.  I used Psalm 33:1 for my "sentiment".  Then fussy cut the flowers from a piece of K & company -brenda walton paper. Add my Really Reasonable Ribbon & viola'!  Magnificent!  Did distress each layer-except flowers.  I popped them up with dimensional s.

WAW#40 Psalms 33:1

When the Lord tells you to Rejoice-you need to REJOICE!  We have so much to be thankful for.  If we truly started writing down everything-we would be "mind boggled"!  Just being able to share God's love with others on our blogs is a blessing.  In other countries they can't mention God.  Our freedom of religion is truly something we shouldn't take for granted. 

If you like to use scripture or encouraging sentiments-our challenge is for YOU!  Word Art Wednesday is where you'll find our FREE WORD ART that my design team & I have used this week.

Our sponsor this week is Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.  It's always nice to win something.

 This week I did a technique I saw online. Using distress ink in 3 colors I sponged them on my white card stock.  Then I spritzed Stampin up smooch on top & while it was still wet, used a background stamp with circles (My Mind's Eye-Everyday Fun)several times to give the smooch more dimension.

The flowers started out white as well.  Distressed & layered two of them. On the top one I stamp the center using a new stamp set from Market Street Stamps "Life is Beautiful"
