Inspiration Challenge #209

Yesterday afternoon I visited Mercy Kerin's blog ... where she had created a card for the Inspiration Challenge at splitcoast...

http://lordhavemercy-mercykerin.blogspot.com/

So I thought I'd give it a try as well ... The idea was to go to Charm Lady Boutique and use something from there as your inspriration... here is the charm I chose

Here is the card I made using this charm as my inspiration....

I used DP from "The Write Stuff" - this is Ruby Red in color; of course, my old standby of Old Olive CS; the Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder. I embossed the CS and then used the bleach technique on it. The sentiment is from the Friendly Words Wheel - which I cut apart to give me lots of versatility!

Here is the inside! I will write a note of thanks here - a friend is bringing us some homemade beans this afternoon ... she made a double batch of the best beans in the world - as far as I'm concerned! Thanks, Janet! :0

And here is my "humility square" - see the ink at the top of the card front? I still had my ink pad open when I opened the card and voila! there's ink on the front... so - I must confess that I'm not as perfect as everyone thinks I am! ha ha ha ha ha! :)

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today!

Blessings on yah!

Happy Easter

Hi All!

Easter! That blessed time of year when we remember what our Lord did for us on the Cross! I hope you have taken some time - or will take some time - to reflect on the true meaning of Easter... Bessings to you all!

Hugs! Ruthie

BLEACHING

HEY!

Are you nice and dry this morning? Boy! Did it rain and blow last night! I was awake at one point and there was thunder and lightning....that's a sure sign of spring, isn't it? I did some bleaching the other day - here are 2 cards I made using that technique - I used the flower from Embrace Life - this is a technique I've tried in the past and I'm still not sure if I like the result or not!

There is a great tutorial for this technique with Gina K. on Stamp TV... I like what she did with it.

I have 3 challenges to do today ... Mojo Monday; and 2 for my 6X6 "His Holy Name" scrapbook... gotta get cracking! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
