The Color Room #32: LOC

I made this for the Color Room #32 challenge and am also entering it into the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge. I love colors of fall with their rich yellows, oranges, reds and brown. Just a beautiful time of year!

I used the Starflower Frame and Brick Wall cling art stamps as well as the Belle Brocade art stencil along the top. Isn't that Brick Wall cling art stamp AMAZING!!! 

I  combined two different sizes of brown half pearls for the center of each flower.  The sentiment is from Nina's set Fanciful Tags.

And don't forget that this week Layers of Color is sponsoring 2Sketches4 and the special at Layers of Color:

 

**30% OFF SALE on art stamp sets at Layers of Color online boutique!**

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Layers of Color Fruit of the Spirit Hop Winner

Welcome to day two of our Fruit of The Spirit themed celebration!
Layers of Color is celebrating sponsoring 2Sketches4You this week!

Yesterday the LOC Design Team featured cards using their sketch and the Layers of Color Prize! Be sure to join the challenge at 2Sketches4You to be eligible to WIN THIS PRIZE: Fruitful Harvest art stamp set, Belle Brocade art stencil and Botanical Swirls art stencil!

For my card today, I used Bird Queen cling art stamp and two stencils: Belle Brocade and Botanical Swirls.  The patterned paper is WonderFALL from Webster's Pages.  The "love" sentiment is a rub-on.

Love is another Fruit of the Spirit which is my focus today.  The self-denying, self- sacrificing, Christlike love which is the foundation of all other graces.  Certainly it doesn't always come easy...(I imagine we have all run into people who have hurt us or are hard to love), but with His help we can  show the love of Christ to all. 

NOW... ON TO MY WINNER!
Last night I randomly drew one name to receive the prize I chose to give away today:
Touch of Elegance art stamp set!

The winner is:

Carolyn King
 Congrats Carolyn!  Please email me your address and we will get Touch of Nature right out to you!!

Layers of Color 'Fruit of the Spirit' Blog Hop!

   
Welcome to the

Layers of Color

"Fruit of the Spirit" Designer Blog Hop!

If you got here from Grace's Blog you are in the right place! If not, please start at Layers of Color blog.

Layers of Color is celebrating sponsoring 2Sketches4You this week!

We are featuring cards using their sketch and the Layers of Color Prize! Join the challenge at 2Sketches4You to be eligible to WIN THIS PRIZE: Fruitful Harvest art stamp set, Belle Brocade art stencil and Botanical Swirls art stencil!

The sketch is just fabulous and works so well with the LOC Art Stencils.  I stenciled the top with the Bella Brocade Art Stencil using Memento Cantaloupe ink.  The beautiful image is from the Fruitful Harvest art stamp set, stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo and colored the image with Copics.  Then I used a Versamarker (Versamark ink in pen form) and colored over the stamped/colored image and embossed it with Clear Embossing powder.  It really made the image pop as you can see:

Our Designer Blog Hop theme is, "Fruit of the Spirit".

For my design I wanted to focus on Faithfulness.  
Faithfulness describes a person who is trustworthy and will always stand up for God's way.  The Holy Spirit produces this fruit through the believer who is in union with Christ.  It is faith which makes it possible for one to be true to his promise and faithful to his task.  I certainly want to be faithful to my Lord and Savior most of all...and believe when I am everything else falls into place.  It is the J-O-Y principle: Jesus, others, and then yourself.

From here, hop to Linda's blog to see the inspiration she has for you! Be sure to visit each designer’s blog as there are GIVEAWAYS on each blog!! Simply leave a comment on my blog today and I will announce the random winner tomorrow of this stamp set:

Exciting Announcement...

My very exciting announcement is....I am joining the Layers of Color Design Team! It was such an honor to be the Guest Designer for the month of September and I enjoyed it immensely.  I have enjoyed getting to know the DT members and LOC stampers via emails and at the SNR group...and they have been such a blessing to me.  We would love to have you join us!   Nina introduced me to Layers of Color and the SNR group via her blog back in the winter (thank you Nina!) and once I placed my first order (which was Merci Bouquet), well... I was hooked.  Just love their Clear Art Stamps and Art Stencils.  I am still pinching myself that I am actually working alongside such a talented Design Team... each DT member brings such an artistic flair to their designs that I am beyond thrilled that I get to join them.

For this card I used two different Art Stencils: Natural Flourish and Bella Brocade, as well as one of the damask images from Touch of Elegance behind the Scripture verse. 

I know that Layers of Color has some VERY exciting things coming...(first hint: a new release in a little over a week).  All in all, October is going to be a GREAT month... in fact, the new Guest Designer for October will be announced on October 6th!   Looking forward to seeing what  a certain "somebody" has been working on ;oP

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my news...  I have a busy day of cleaning house and our oldest sons' baseball game this afternoon.  Maybe (just maybe) I can squeeze a little stamp time in...(I will just "clean" my stamp room with the door closed, wink!)

Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
