You are such a blessing

Hello friends...
I hope you are enjoying the new release & beautiful inspirations by all the talented DTs...
Today we are releasing  Australian Birds stamp set & I have a card made with this stamp set..
I recently got cameo & I am exploring the possibilities... so I thought of using it for my card...
I cut out the watercolor cardstock with it using Australian Birds Cut File... it has 2 sizes of mat & I used the one with the smaller margin... Then I used antique linen & stamped the image on the cut out & colored with distress inks... No more time consuming fussy cutting with scissors... Woohooo... 
I also have a  sneak-peek of the stamp set that will be released on Friday...I have stamped the sentiment  with the colors that I had already used in the card...


I hope you like my card ... Thank you for visiting...

If God Brings you to it...

Hello Friends...
Welcome to my 1st post for Inspired By Stamping in 2015...
Today I have a frame to share with you all...
I have made this for myself... to motivate & reassure me during tough times & keep me going...

 The frame is made with a die & I have added a piece of chipboard stand to the back... 
 The bird stamp is from Winter Birds.. I stamped the bird once & then stamped the branch with a little masking to make it longer... Then I stamped the leaves from Autumn Blessings & colored the whole image with distress inks...  Once I was happy with the coloring & everything was dry I stamped the sentiment from Words of Inspiration using black archival ink.
Hope you like my project today & give it a try... :)
