Creative Worship Stamps Birthday Month | Celebration Week 1

It is Creative Worship Stamps Birthday Month!!! we are thankful of the 17 amazing years!!!

Today, I made this card using stamp sets from the era of year 2010 through year 2014:

  • Be Encouraged stamp set
  • Nature Silhouettes stamp set

This week November 1st – November 7th, we are featuring stamp sets released in 2010-2014 and all of them are on 20% off sale!

I used Arched Window stencil to create ink-blending background using VersaFine Clair ink pads and blending brushes. I dried the inks with craft heater and fussy cut it with scissors.

I stamped the silhouette images on the arched background with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and Mini MISTI. Then, I cut out a piece of white cardstock using Arched Window die and added it on top of it. I added it to the card with permanent glue runner.

On a piece of white cardstock , stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, added some Fine Clear Embossing powder on it, and heat set it with a craft hear gun. I cut it into sentiment strip and added it to the card with thin foam tape.

I added some white paint splatters to the card for extra texture.

That’s my card for kicking off this Creative Worship Birthday Celebration Month! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a fabulous day!
