Good Morning!  This is Jessica B. I hope you had a great weekend! This is my first project and post for QKR Stampede and I thrilled to work with the images and talented Design Team.

I chose this little cutie for my project. He was so much fun to color! I am going to send this to a dear friend of mine that just had a preemie baby last week. I think she will like it.

 

He is stamped on Strathmore Bristol paper and colored with colored pencils and OMS. I think he is darling.

Please check out the QKR Stampede on line store for lots of other cute designs. Also check out the other design team members to see what they have created ! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Baby Boy Carriage

Hi there thanks for stopping by!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. This is my first post of the year for Biblical Impressions. There are so many gorgeous stamps to choose from but for my card I decided on 30207 - Sm Carriage, 

A friend of my daughters is having a baby boy and she wanted me to make a card for her and this stamp was perfect!

Let some spring in...

Good Morning! This is Jessica B. and I am doing my very first project and post for the Eureka DT. I am so thrilled to be part of such a wonderful, helpful talented Design Team , and to have such fantastic images to work with!
For my project today I chose this wonderful butterfly. After a while you will see I have a bit of a "thing" for butterflies and flowers and this stamp provided both..win-win!

I didn't make a card for today. I needed a birthday gift for my sweet step- sister and I am pretty sure she has gotten plenty of cards from me in the past ( come to think of it she usually gets drawings..hmmm maybe I need to make a card as well ;). Anyway, I stamped the image on water color paper in Archival black ink and colored it in using a mixture of water color pencils and Winsor & Newton inks. The whole thing matted is 8x8. Nice size for a little wall hanging..I am going to frame it before shipping.

Here is a close up of the image. This was such fun to color! I have several other color combos picked out already...and I know it will make a beautiful card.

I hope you enjoyed the card and please go check out the store! There are lots of stamps and they are of excellent quality...

Have a great weekend and please check back to see what the other talented ladies have created!

The Wonderful Names of Jesus II

As a design team member for both Biblical Impressions and Eureka, I thought it might be fun to occasionally post similar images from each. My first post featured Eureka’s Names of Jesus image; here is Biblical Impression’s Names of Jesus image.

This was one of those designs in which what I planned to do and what I ended up doing were very different. I had embossed the NOJ with clear powder, planning to ink not quite to the border of the stamps, so that the border words were legible, but sort of fading off into the background. Then I planned to iron off the embossing, and tear the edges. But in an ADD moment I forgot my original plan and did a more traditional inking (using Brilliance ink pads), and having already messed up my original idea, went for straight edges. While most of my cards are standard A2 designs, this one is slightly larger so that I could frame the stamp better, and cover up less of it with the smaller scripture, which is Psalm 113:3, available on the full sheet, Be Still.

Happy New Year..

HELLO!

My name is Jessica and I  am thrilled to be a new addition to the Biblical Impressions DT! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

This is my first design team post ever and I am excited to get it underway! Our theme for this month is "Winter" and I think it is perfect. I don't know about you , but this southern girl is not diggin' the cold weather in my area. It was 12 degrees at the bus stop this morning!! I am ready for some sunshine and heat! ( please do not remind me of this when it is 103 this summer :)

I chose this cute little sledding snowman for my focus and I love it. I admit I was tired of red/green so I wanted something different. My 7yo dd said " Why don't you make it a snow "GIRL"..."?? Hmmm..seemed like a good idea so I went with it!

This is a close up of the snow girl  .she is in hot pink..and sledding on glitter!( I don't usually use a lot of glitter..but my daughter insisted LOL) I also sprayed some perfect pearls mixed with water on the whole thing to add just a bit of shimmer.
Although you can't see the background paper really well, I used a stamp that says "Let it snow" and stamped the verse repeatedly in Pixie Dust VersaMagic ink. It was a cute way to incorporate a little bit of pink and shimmer with out taking the card over the edge.


I hope you enjoyed my card for the day! Have a great weekend!Please check back to see what the other talented ladies have made!

Gorill-ya be my Valentine?

Happy Thursday!!!

I have been working on some Valentine's Day cards this week.

Does it seem too early?

Well...it's only 5 weeks away so if you haven't thought about it yet...you might want to start!

Besides...I want to give you plenty of time to get your stamps ordered!

Eureka Stamps has some terrific 

Valentine/Love Stamps!

I used Gorilla With Hearts for this card.

The sentiment is Goril-ya Valentine.

  

I stamped the gorilla on a white panel and then when I cut the panel into a rectangle I trimmed around his leg and head to leave them "out of the box" a little.  I think it's kind of a cool effect!  The glass heart is from Ariden Creations and the image was colored with Copic Markers.

I hope you are starting to get some Valentine's inspiration.  Be sure and come back next Monday for the Eureka Stamps Valentine Blog hop to get even more!

Thanks for stopping by today!
