Just add FAITH.

Just add Faith.... and nothing will be impossible... what ever your dreams, ambitions, goals be even if they are the size of a mustard seed. Just add Faith and anything becomes possible.


My cards are sometimes like that. I see what I have in my head, or I see a inspiration but on paper its blank.... but then I start playing around.. and grab a ink pad and a stamp... and its like magic. 


I am not artistic by any means... what I mean by that is I can't paint a painting just by looking at a scene like certain people here in blog land... but I am crafty I can put something together and make it look kosher. Is that decorating? Do I decorate cards? Maybe.. but I do have a little faith that I make someone smile with them.


even if it is myself.



I used for this card die cut Frames by Simon says stamp, a tag die cut from Tim Holtz, a circle from Quickutz, bird dies from Impression Obsession. A stamp I have had in my stash for 25 years...            ( I kid you not )
I inked it up with honey mustard ink from Tim Holtz and a few topic markers.






the challenge is to try a new technique... 
the challenge here is to use a new technique. I learned in a class to create your own embellishments. I tried it on my string... I colored it with my copic markers.. it was white. :)



Hope you enJOYed

    1. Hello Heather... sorry about that. I updated my post. My new technique is that I colored my string to match my card with comic markers. I learned it in a class and have seen Tim Holtz do it with ribbon.
