Mixed Media Fusion Challenge Friday! It's a date.


This week's Birgit is giving a heart challenge. Use them! Love those kinds of challenges. 
Come join us with MIX54: HEARTS.


I used the same paper for my base as this card a few weeks ago. I added stamped hearts in white, black and second off (stamp on a scrap paper first then onto your project) after brushing some green acrylic paint around  the edges and the sentiment.

It's kind of a blur to the steps because I would stamp the small hearts, paint, stamp, paint and then add the tape.  The tape was chosen because I intended to use the yummy new ribbon from Verve, I had it all tied and pretty, but then my stamping was off and I would cover up the focal heart too much or the sentiment. So the ribbon is ready for another project. I'm already ahead of the game.

It's always a creative process and I know I'm not alone.

 I've got this card in sync with a few challenges!

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
