Make it Monday: Courage & Faith!

Hello friends! I think this can only be described as a splendid coffee fail!! I’ve been encouraged to try different milks in my coffee (think less dairy) so I did! Here you see the ‘interesting’ result of my first almond milk attempt:

The question is, did I drink it??! The new Courage & Faith Stamp Set has some fabulous vertically oriented sentiments as well as floral branch stamps and circle designs for borders: 

For this card I used Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock as I wanted to add a little colour to the flowers. Before going ahead, I found a Celebration Label Die (retired) that would cut out the stamped image: 

I picked ‘May the Lord bless you & keep you, Numbers 6:24’ and used a stamping platform to make multiple copies:

Three stamped, nine to go!!

After stamping and die-cutting comes colouring in with alcohol markers 🙂

There’s Wink of Stella on the flowers, but the shine is too hard to photograph! 

To add dimension to these I needed 108 adhesive foam dots! 

The textured layer is a paisley pattern that mirrors the dots and flowers in the stamped branches: 

And here’s the finished card, including the writing panel:

MEANWHILE … some Happy Post arrived from the UK!! I won these gorgeous cards from Della by Design – she creates beautiful card kits so you can make the cards yourself to give to those you love:

Very special to have you drop by today – thank you, and have a lovely week!! Megan xo PS: I lacked the courage to drink my coffee!!
