Faith Art Handmade Greeting Cards for Creative Worship Stamps

 


Hi everyone and thanks for visiting!  I'm so happy to be a guest designer with Creative Worship Stamps, formerly Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps, this October.  I've enjoyed the quiet time in my art room stamping and coloring and have a few cards to share today as a result.  First, I wanted to create a "fallish" card design using a not so fall stamp set, the Encouraging Peonies stamp set.  I used the leaves from the set to stamp a pattern on my Bristol panel using Shady Lane VersaFine Clair ink.  


Next, I had a fun time splashing around pools of color over both the leaves and background.  The panel was really pretty at this point, but I wanted to go a step further, and pulled out a brush marker and colored around the leaves to make them pop.  

I added some splashes of metallic gold watercolor by FineTec on the background.  Next, I gold embossed a sentiment from the Hymn Word Art stamp set and rounded the corners with a punch.  I like how the background is a striking color, but also picks up the underlayer of watercolor.  It was a fun experiment!





Next I was really excited to stamp out the images from the Botanical Collages stamp set.  I was having fun with my watercolor palette and decided to try a similar technique with the bees collage.  I colored in the main imagery, then used black watercolor to fill in the surrounding space.  I used postal edge scissors on the mat.

I finished by layering over a white panel stamped with the Diagonal Plaid 6x6" background stamp.  Oh my goodness, I love this XL plaid stamp!  Thankfully I had some vintage seam binding in the right shade of gold to coordinate and complete the card.


For my last card today, I added another sentiment from the Hope Word Art stamp set and paired it with mushrooms from the Colors of Fall stamp set.  For the sentiment panel, I dipped a scrap into Distress Inks in Fired Brick and Crackling Campfire then stamped in VersaFine black.


I fussy cut the mushrooms after coloring with Distress Inks in Frayed Burlap and Antique Linen, with a touch of Crackling Campfire for the top.  I then layered over a page from a very old devotional, which I splattered with more CC inks.  I adhered the sentiment, then stamped the Sew Many Stitches stamps around the perimeter.  There's just something about this color combo that I come back to every fall for my paper crafts.  I hope you're inspired today and will check out these and other beautiful new stamp sets from Creative Worship Stamps.  Hugs, Autumn
