Believe in Me by Jen Shults

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining us for CardMaker and QuietFire Design blog hop! If you are just starting the hop please head over to the CardMaker Blog for all the details and the full hop list!

I used QuietFire Designs The Best Thing I Ever Did stamp for my card today. In the background I sponged green, blue and yellow ink on white cardstock before die cutting Bold Lace Cutting Plate (Taylored Expressions) from white cardstock and layering it over the sponging. I stamped the sentiment on grey cardstock with Versamark and embossed it with white embossing powder.

I added a small flower cluster at the corner and popped them up on foam tape for some separation. There’s a tiny little enamel shape in the middle of the flower.

  13. HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!! LOVE that Lacy Die you’ve used & the color!!! 😉 AND OF COURSE, the SENTIMENT!!! It is SO TRUE, one has to believe in one’s self to accomplish much of anything! 😉 Something I ALWAYS encourage our daughter to do! ( Or actually, to believe in the fact that GOD can make her able to do whatever it is she needs to do, she just needs to STEP OUT IN FAITH!!!!) 😉

    The sponged colors are gorgeous under the lace die-cut and the sentiment is one every woman should hang in a place where she will see it every day!
