Wow! This was a super fun week for the Our Daily Bread Challenge and for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, so I combined the two of them!
The Stampin' Sisters wanted faux or real stitching. I do lots of faux stitching so I thought I would attempt some simple stitches. My husband has this twine..but it was way to thick to get through a needle's eye. So, I separated it...it was really 3 pieces, and it was so wavy it looked like it had a perm! LOL
The Wonderful Women at ODBD really woke things up for this challenge. They wanted SPARKLE! Lots of SPARKLE! Well, they asked for it, I gave it to them. I used Stickles glitter on a butterfly...and I covered an entire stamped image...plus my T-shirt with different color Stickles. I added a simple...non-sparkly stamp of the sun coming up and the word "REJOICE!" A great word for me this week...because I forgot how to do that for a couple of days! Back to myself now!
I had so much fun making this card! I hope you enjoy taking a look at it!
He IS Able,
Traci S.
