I had bought this pattern on Etsy, but now the shop is closed. When looking at the pattern, I determined that this designer is located in Russia, and since Russia attacked the Ukraine, they are no longer on Etsy, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Which is a good reminder to go ahead and buy a pattern that you see if you really want it because you never know when it’s not gonna be available anymore. I continue to look every week or two to see if Tatting by the bay shop has been reopened, because I really really really want some of the patterns that Robin Perfetti had for sale there.<p></p><p>The trees came out very cute, the Tatting using size 20 is about an inch and a half tall. Expect to see more of these because I have so many more color combinations that I want to make.</p><p><br /></p>Betsye Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659741796430828066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409473510978318683.post-18981155161095823272023-04-13T18:58:00.000-04:002023-04-13T18:58:24.715-04:00Butterfly earrings <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I’ll probably be the first to admit that I am a little picky about things. I must confess that I don’t like most of the tatted butterflies I see, I just don’t care for them but I really wanted some to wear to Dollywood so I thought about what it is, I don’t care about, the butterflies I’ve seen others tats call that I don’t like they’re really big loops that are in the handy hands catalogue, and I don’t like the hole in the middle of the butterfly or and I don’t want butterflies that don’t have Antanas, but I finally came up with a pattern that I really like. It’s similar enough to other peoples patterns, but I haven’t seen one exactly like mine, even though it’s probably out there somewhere. I have made several pair, and I’ve sold a few too. I have even put it on the end of a put mark instead of a tassel. I might make some to go on paper clips for scrapbook embellishments</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_W8mR7TUpRDXvLPPeRykMWklTucHFwvUmQ9CLUecoC-eeuS6hLaPP0oGSk7UTnlYN3ik-pWWytpcVhc_q1bf0NwLle9pc56slhmrYl-Tp7Q_SUp2PZSF-cbED-bT-oj9LbMswfDZUQ5KC-68cReg7XD5RJkp6Hjc1q6KkomoIm9i5_l9-SFLaupQXXg/s4032/IMG_9479.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_W8mR7TUpRDXvLPPeRykMWklTucHFwvUmQ9CLUecoC-eeuS6hLaPP0oGSk7UTnlYN3ik-pWWytpcVhc_q1bf0NwLle9pc56slhmrYl-Tp7Q_SUp2PZSF-cbED-bT-oj9LbMswfDZUQ5KC-68cReg7XD5RJkp6Hjc1q6KkomoIm9i5_l9-SFLaupQXXg/s320/IMG_9479.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGFPNmoxVGyxUVWb_5gSuCeNIUCB2iaDgKoxv_6KJ-zwG5qBYHy4F0oQsBNMTHvuy7QGtciaLCwSKU1H3fL4vVBrfG3x1ucdpPx_CfiaTSROLbOezdtNk7Q2s6Ygae_HZKlBIjb44S_y0-qdUagcFEYPu_aRPplbSDuNe5uopylZZtqVtzm3_zC1PWeQ/s4032/IMG_9567.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGFPNmoxVGyxUVWb_5gSuCeNIUCB2iaDgKoxv_6KJ-zwG5qBYHy4F0oQsBNMTHvuy7QGtciaLCwSKU1H3fL4vVBrfG3x1ucdpPx_CfiaTSROLbOezdtNk7Q2s6Ygae_HZKlBIjb44S_y0-qdUagcFEYPu_aRPplbSDuNe5uopylZZtqVtzm3_zC1PWeQ/s320/IMG_9567.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoS-9iq7S3Y9ah1ubbMdBZIo2nZGoGHxmZCYB1UzahLG1J3U81nwqCcSt3TtnwmKo7OucGY1Grc1xccUU3h35bpfafBCHVc0wtMlpP8jIQRGnU7WOX_83nARxglGoSFgjn0F82lavzrMd-IqcyQrIhnSHpoRooghv3gwAowAOa-0FzowhBM5hwF247Gg/s4032/IMG_9586.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoS-9iq7S3Y9ah1ubbMdBZIo2nZGoGHxmZCYB1UzahLG1J3U81nwqCcSt3TtnwmKo7OucGY1Grc1xccUU3h35bpfafBCHVc0wtMlpP8jIQRGnU7WOX_83nARxglGoSFgjn0F82lavzrMd-IqcyQrIhnSHpoRooghv3gwAowAOa-0FzowhBM5hwF247Gg/s320/IMG_9586.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM80WxkI0JqOZTnUuRh8CcVEaTRBvdcxbWTSQv16MFbj3n2yGri73iTtr1ZNmyRc7GErGrjyxM5f7ze4GDrtENj2QbS50WZol9R7l3ITuPLqcBVOvtX2FasdsK-BAhef6gwQenmtlmyjIJfqE3iB3qmL2J35D4JxZxWTrgakTm0I-GfhjqpGSRlYni0Q/s3780/76F5EC30-4284-4F03-8481-7D9CE7288639.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3780" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM80WxkI0JqOZTnUuRh8CcVEaTRBvdcxbWTSQv16MFbj3n2yGri73iTtr1ZNmyRc7GErGrjyxM5f7ze4GDrtENj2QbS50WZol9R7l3ITuPLqcBVOvtX2FasdsK-BAhef6gwQenmtlmyjIJfqE3iB3qmL2J35D4JxZxWTrgakTm0I-GfhjqpGSRlYni0Q/s320/76F5EC30-4284-4F03-8481-7D9CE7288639.jpeg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Betsye Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659741796430828066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409473510978318683.post-81934931105615164842023-04-12T05:22:00.000-04:002023-04-12T05:22:22.010-04:00Onesie tat fun<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> We went shopping for new clothes for my daughter’s babies, and when we got a set of onesies I informed her that I wanted to add tatted trim to some of them.

<u>Step #1:</u> cutting the fabric into equal amounts of 2 ½
inch strips and 1 ½ inch strips (if you have four 2 ½ inch strips, you should
have four 1 ½ inch strips).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If when you
get to the end there’s enough for one more cut, do an extra 1 ½ inch strip. <o:p></o:p><br />

You know the saying “Time is Money”, I used that and the lack of time to get quilts done to justify using a 40% off coupon at Joann’s to buy a slotted ruler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only does it save time, but it saves me some frustration too, gotta love that! I used a little bit of washi tape to mark where I was going to cut so that I didn't mess up. It seems simple enough, but can't tell you how many times I haven't counted right and cut something too small when I didn't take the time to mark it with washi tape because it was too easy. </div>

<u>Step #2:</u> For the foundation block, you need a bunch
of HST (Half Square Triangles).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will
need 6 all blue, 4 blue & white, 38 red & white. To create these, I
took 2 ½ inch strips and placed them right sides facing and drew with a pencil
or pen a line at every 2 ½ inches, then I drew a line from top left to bottom
right then bottom left to top right creating a zig zag/chevron and then I sewed
¼ of an inch on each side of the line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since I did it in strips, I sewed on one side down the whole strip and
then I went back and sewed the other side. no need to worry if you're sewing over a pencil mark, it will come out all right.<o:p></o:p></div>

<u>Step #3:</u> Join 2 ½ inch strips to HST.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are a couple of different methods of
doing this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One method is to cut the
fabric and then sew it and then trim it up again. I prefer the strip method where I put a square down on
the strip and when I get to the end of sewing that square down I put the next
square down and sew until the end of that one and repeat until there isn’t
enough room on that strip and then I get the next strip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the method I used on this whole quilt<o:p></o:p></div>

If you’re wondering what the little yellow squares are on
this photo, I took extra sticky post it notes and created numbers 1-48 and put
them on the quilt squares which helped keep them straight when going to the
sewing machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hind sight I should have
used<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>48 post-its because once it is in

Working with one row at a time, (you could do columns if you wish) I sewed 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and then I sewed the first group of 1-2 to 3-4, 5-6 to 7-8, and then 1-4 to 5-8. </div>

Once your 6 rows are sewn, please do yourself a big favor and lay them out on a floor, bed, design table, whatever you have, and make sure at this point that all of your squares are turned correctly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It really helps if you can take a picture of it at this point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you have confirmed that your squares are positioned correctly, sew row 1 to 2, 3 to 4, and 5 to 6. Then 1-2 to 3-4, then 1-4 to 5-6. Spread it out again and make sure you didn't sew something upside down. If you did sew a set upside down like I did (no picture provided) just get out the seam ripper and take out the seam and sew it again right side up. </div>

In a few short months, I will be a Grandma for the first time, Lord willing. I am so excited. it's hard to not buy outfits and toys and blankets because I want to so much. But there will be plenty of time to buy things for the baby for years to come. I have already bought a stroller and car seat. <br />
<br />
Isn't this stamp set just too precious? It's SS-0295, Hey Diddle Diddle. <br />
<br />
For the background, I used a cloud die from the Fly Away set and used that as a mask and sponged ink on the background.<br />

Welcome to the Amazing Journey Blog Hoppers Hop! This month’s theme is Be Amazing. I'm so happy you're hoppin' along! If you arrived here from <a href="http://lisakmiecstamps.blogspot.com/2016/11/journey-blog-hoppers-be-amazing.html" target="_blank">Lisa’s blog</a>, you're on the right track. If not, that's ok too! Just continue the hop and you'll come full circle!<br />
<br />
I've heard so much about events that Fun Stampers Journey puts on, I just had to see for myself. <br />
I got to go with someone who signed up under me, and a friend of mine who lives in Orlando was able to join us for the public portion! It was so much fun! the first day was a training session for coaches, and the second day was for everyone. There was shopping and food and a photo room with special lights, and make and takes. I came away with pictures of at least 50 different cards I can make with the Be Amazing collection, a couple of stamp sets, and wonderful memories.<br />
<br />
Speaking of memories, my first papercrafting love was scrapbooking, so my project features a page using our scrapbooking products. <br />
<br />
I should probably mention that over the years with experience, I've become a paper snob. I do not like using thin patterned paper or cardstock. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty, but I just don't like working with it now. I like for the background to be able to stand up by itself with layers and embellishments. The reason I mention this is because you can't touch and feel my papers and card stock. The paper is of a good quality and has a nice weight. The card stock from FSJ is very sturdy. I love that I can get it in 12x12 packs, and at 12 sheets for $5.95 is not a bad price; and a great variety of colors.<br />
<br />
I love it when I can get matching card stock for patterned paper! Lucky for me, all of the FSJ patterned paper <i>just so happens</i> to match the card stock colors that they have.<br />

<br />
I used Turbo Teal card stock for the background, but wanted it to reflect the mood of the party, so I splattered the background with silks, Orange Rave, Cosmic Grape, Sour Lemon and Electric Lime.<br />

The picture with Richard and Gabby had a lot of negative space on it, so it was perfect to use with one of the Amazing Layers overlays. we used a lot of the sequins on cards at the event, and they were perfect for decorating a Be Amazing Day Card (which I cut in half so I could use on both pages) and for adding to an embellishment from the Be Amazing Prints.<br />

I have loved Tim Holtz' Crazy birds for a long time, and was so excited to see the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21024&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Pretty Birds ATS</a>. I love how cute these are, and I can look at the ideas I've saved to use with the Crazy birds and use it for my Pretty Birds if I'm ever stuck. To color this bird, I used the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20862&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Rich Sorbets PanPastels</a>; they are so easy to blend together.<br />

Of course the birds are cute, but I think what makes them work are the words on the card and the backgrounds. For the background, I stamped the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19554&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Ink Splat ATS</a> with the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20137&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Cool Pool True Color Fusion Ink Pad</a>, <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19967&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Pineapple Smoothie True Color Fusion Ink Pad</a>, and the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19971&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Pretty Amethyst True Color Fusion Ink Pad</a>, then I added a few <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20653&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Rainbow Drops</a> with <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20099&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Journey Glaze</a>.<br />

The scripture is from the Faith Journey collection <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20920&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Trust the Lord Stamp Set</a>. I firmly believe in this saying. He is the Great "I Am". He can fulfill every need that I have. It may not be on my time schedule, and I may think some of my wants are needs, but He knows best. The older I become and the more experience I have, the more I see the validity in this statement.<br />

I've been seeing spinner cards, and thought that this would be a perfect time to try one out, and put my own <i>spin </i>on it. LOL. </div>

The first step I took was to use (outside in) Piercing element, die element, die element, and piercing element from the Journey Circles Die Set
[DI-0039]. This gave me a center circle for the sentiment with the added dimension of the holes pierced, a ring which I could have tossed (but didn't), and a frame for the rest of the front of the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a tip for when using the piercing elements: <i><b>before </b></i>peeling the cardstock off the piercing element, flip it over and look to see if you can see little green dots or colored bumps. If you see colored bumps, use the Bloom Tool
[TO-0073] (20% off this month) with the spatula end and lightly flick off the colored bumps. </div>

Stamp the sentiment you would like on the center circle. Seeing this picture reminds me, FSJ also has blocks on sale this month. One side is smooth, and the other side has an etched grid, and all four sides are grooved for an easy grip.</div>

This background looks like a green piece of paper, but it's Whip cream cardstock. The Pan Pastels make it easy to create amazing backgrounds in no time flat with background stamps. Every time time I do this technique, a song from the 80's starts playing in my head, I can hear Shawn Cassidy singing "Do you believe in magic"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To do this technique, ink a stamp with <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20266&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Clear Pigment ink</a> and then using a <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20868&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=&PartyGuestID=&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">Sofft tool, </a>rub <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ShoppingCartSearchResults.aspx?SearchCriteria=PANPASTEL" target="_blank">PanPastel</a> into the paper. Quick, easy, and amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, another technique that I think is magic to this day is heat embossing. I just love how the powder melts before my eyes. I have discovered over the years that some powders are hard to tell when they have melted, but not <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20868&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=&PartyGuestID=&ReferringDealerID=814788" target="_blank">FSJ powders</a>. I don't know what's different about them, but the difference is very easy to see as it melts.</div>

I have a couple of customers who bought this set before it was retired. I love the set myself, so when they asked me to do Christmas cards with it for one of the make and takes tomorrow night, I agreed. I'm adding some current items which will justify using it as the make and take. Fresh Forrest card-stock, Cranberry Bliss card-stock, Whip Cream card-stock, Holiday Sequins, silver sequins, Gel Medium, Stencils, Sparkle Ribbon, and of course the inks.</div>

This
is the 6th card in a series I've
done using color splashes and stamp sets in the Faith Journey
collection. This sentiment is from the Trust the Lord [SS-0365] set.
To cut the verse out, I simply used a pencil and traced around the stamp
itself before stamping the sentiment and then cut along the pencil
lines.</div>

There's a cute young couple at church expecting their first child next month and I decided to make a baby blanket for him. I found out they were doing a nautical theme and went looking for material. Whew, cannot believe the options out there! So of course I had to message the future aunt and find out the color scheme...and find their registry online to make sure I didn't clash with things they were getting. I found some really cute nautical prints at Spool.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8OlMVCvlS-w/V7tW-O8pt9I/AAAAAAAAGhY/Hg-HkqrKjpAEt1FQCtOxEL_zQLEPinjSwCPcB/s1600/050bc3ca-5c3d-4bbc-aeda-6e8e1f34026c" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8OlMVCvlS-w/V7tW-O8pt9I/AAAAAAAAGhY/Hg-HkqrKjpAEt1FQCtOxEL_zQLEPinjSwCPcB/s320/050bc3ca-5c3d-4bbc-aeda-6e8e1f34026c" width="180" /></a></div>
But before I went to Spool, I went to Pins and Needles because they told me on the phone that they had some nautical fabrics. Turns out, they only had one; I got enough for the back of the quilt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fx8l7PXLfL4/V7tW-KlqCtI/AAAAAAAAGhY/2wfcDx4cdxQTaN7p-nkY2N9sn-DoTwmiwCPcB/s1600/8ebc2bbd-e467-4d66-b265-8b7f8cffea14" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fx8l7PXLfL4/V7tW-KlqCtI/AAAAAAAAGhY/2wfcDx4cdxQTaN7p-nkY2N9sn-DoTwmiwCPcB/s320/8ebc2bbd-e467-4d66-b265-8b7f8cffea14" width="320" /></a></div>
This is what the quilt looked like at 4 am the morning of the baby shower. I decided to present it to them at the baby shower and then be an indian giver and take it back for a week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That week turned into about a month, but I still got the finished product to them before the baby was born, and that's what counts, right? I did a stitch in the ditch for the center panel quilting, but then did a wave stitch around the border. Definitely not perfect, but I think it's pretty good for a beginner on a domestic machine.<br />

You might notice that there was a blue and white stripe in the original stack of fabrics, but when I put that up against the backing, they did <i>not </i>play well together. Luckily I had some fabric that I had originally chosen for my niece's quilt at Christmas; but I decided that I didn't like it, so I bought some different fabrics. I decided that this went well with the twisty turvy design and the color scheme.<br />

One of my favorite things about Fun Stampers Journey is their price point. You can get this high quality red rubber stamp for less than $8. That is a win in my book! An even better win is being able to get it for free when hosting a party with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also love that they have a mixed media line for me to play with. The background on this card was created by simply applying modeling paste with the falling petals stencil and sprinkling with Sparkle Dust while it was still wet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The coloring that I added to the stamped image is with Pan Pastels. Fun Stampers Journey has a partnership with this company so that we have colors that match our line.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My most favorite product Fun Stampers Journey has is the dies with the piercing elements. I love that I can just cut, or just have the holes poked, or I can have both. More often than not I choose both. </div>

This is the 4th card in a series I've done using color splashes and stamp sets in the Faith Journey collection. This sentiment is from the Trust the Lord [SS-0365] set. I wanted to add an embellishment or two to this, but the sequins I tried were kind of overwhelming the card, but the Rainbow drops blend nicely with the background. Card base: Orange Rave 8.5X11
[CS-0124] Color Splashes: Orange Rave Splash[IP-0122], Sour Lemon Splash[IP-0124], and Sweet Berry Color Splash[IP-0086]

3rd day of the Faith Journey Color Splash series.<br />

I've seen a lot of sayings that All I/you need is ____. While those things might be nice and may even make you happy for a little while, God is the only one who can supply all my needs. I am blessed beyond measure, and this sentiment from Trust the Lord[SS-0365] says it all.<br />

[IP-0122], Sour Lemon Splash
[IP-0124], Cosmic Grape Splash

I like to jokingly say that 'Glitter is my signature color'. I truly love how shiny the Journey Sparkle Dust[AC-0013] is. For this card, I mixed Blue Lagoon Acrylic Paint[JM-0018] with Journey Modeling Paste
[JM-0073] and applied with Starburst Lines- Stencil[JM-0007] using a Spatula[TO-0089]. I put the blue Rainbow Drops[AC-0178] in the large blank areas and stamped the sentiment from Through the Storm [SS-0364] with Blue Lagoon True Color Fusion Ink Pad[IP-0002] and cut out with a Journey Ovals[DI-0042]. I used Blue Lagoon 8.5 x 11 Card stock[CS-0004] for the card base.</div>
