Hello!
I've been getting inky again. This time I'm playing along with The Color Throwdown, specifically ctd323.
I was a bit disappointed when this challenge stopped using Stampin' Up!® color names for the selections, mainly because I eat, sleep and breathe Stampin' Up! colors for my scrapping, so it was super duper easy for me! Now I have to work a little more! LOL
I do understand that many players had the opposite perspective, that they felt stymied by those names, felt like they had to use those colors, and maybe some didn't play because of that. Thanks ladies, (over at CTD), for recognizing that and reaching out to those crafters. Sharing our creativity with others who understand and appreciate is what it's all about, after all.
And now, on to my creations. More pocket cards! Yah!
I used Kiwi Kiss, Blush Blossom, Rose Red and Very Vanilla for my color selection.
While I was looking through my stash for some Rose Red cardstock, I came across a package of Cameo Coral. yep! I think I might be making another set of cards substituting that for the Rose Red.
Flower punches are always a favorite, pearls a must, and some gold embossing is a special treat for any project.
I'm really reflecting on the 'Life Happens. Love Helps.' sentiment right now. Love is so powerful, and not just the love God showed when He gave us His Son, born in a stable and cradled in a manger, and ultimately crucified on the cross to pay our debt of sin; but also the love we demonstrate toward each other. It covers a mutlitude of sins, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things. Even the rough places in relationships, circumstances and the world around us.
The Greatest of these is Love . . . . What Christmas is all about.
Merry Christmas!

Pretty cards! I love the shabby chic colors of pink and green! Thanks for stopping by and making a comment on my gratitude journal. So are you going to blog your Documented Faith Art Journal too?
