and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

For my first sample, I use the adorable new stamp set, Mer-mazing, designed by Jenn Nilsson.

Creative Nugget:  The shells from the Mer-mazing stamp set were randomly stamped over the background.  A piece of kraft card stock was torn, stamped with texture from the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set, and attached to the background. A square panel was sponged with Peacock Feathers and mounted to the kraft layer.  All of the cute images were colored with Copic Markers, cut with a Scan 'n Cut and popped onto the card.  The sentiment was white embossed on a banner and jute twine was added to finish the card.

The new Hymn Word Art stamp set was used to create my second sample.

Creative Nugget:  The card front is mixed media paper smooshed with Distress Oxide inks.  A frame was created with three different sizes of stitched rectangle dies.  Both of these were mounted to black card stock.  The hymn was black embossed on a stitched rectangle panel, mounted to black card stock and layered inside the frame.  Flowers from the Doodle Florals stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut out and mounted to the frame.  Pearls were added to the centers of the flowers to finish the card.

Ceal is next on the blog list so hop on over to her blog for more fabulous inspiration!

Thank so much for stopping by...enjoy the rest of the hop!

Hugs,
