I mentioned in yesterday's post that I was going to take up my friend Susan's challenge and use each and every one of my stamp sets. The first set I pulled out of one of my drawers was this beautiful set by Our Daily Bread called "On Eagles' Wings". I decided to make two cards with it while I had it out and after using my Copics on the first card, I wanted to try water-coloring the second one. When I used the Copics I had to go back over the brown color with the colorless blender to remove some of the pigment so that the detail would show. Before you leave me any accolades, I completely CASEd this from a beautiful card that Amy Sheffer did HERE. Give her the accolades.
The second card is also a CASE job from Mostamps HERE. I didn't have any patterned paper that I liked so I made my own using Papertrey Inks Faux Ribbon. The cloud background was made with a template I have. My younger daughter asked me to make her a few more cards for her stash so this will be put aside until I get a few more to send her.
American Idol started this week and I'm already quite impressed with several of the voices. Some of their stories are so moving. Do you watch it, too?
Thank you for stopping by. Stay warm.
Blessing from Yesterday: Safety for my family in Seattle during this terrible snow storm.

CASEd or not, these are beautiful! I watched American Idol last night. There are so many talented young people out there. Some not so talented too.
ReplyDeleteCased or not...they are gorgeous, Sue!! Your coloring looks wonderful, and I love the papers too!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your family is safe during this storm. Hugs!!
Cool Eagle...Love the case. Great way to add the ribbon! Good luck on your challenge!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. This is a really great set from ODB. We did watch Idol this week. I think Phil Phillips' audition was awesome...in his second song when he brought out the guitar! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment about the twine and how you have to tie a knot first...yep, I have to do that, too, or the bow is too loose. Don't have any suggestions for you there...sorry.
Have a GREAT weekend, Susie!
OMG - these are gorgeous! Congratulations on beginning this challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge is a great idea Sue and I love the way you started! I don't watch American Idol although it does turn up here in the UK! Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteI love that eagle image Susie...so majestic! You may have cased the design but you can take credit for the awesome shading :)
