Art deco happy birthday - C4G #248

 Happy Thursday to you!  It's time for our new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme for this challenge is "Art Deco."  

Here's my card...

I was wondering how/what to make for this theme when I remembered that I had Poppystamps Art Deco Birthday Greetings stamp set.  I started by making the BG using Paper Rose Abstract Trees stencil as a stamp with VersaMark and gold embossing powder.  I heat embossed the sentiment is gold and added a strip of gold behind the top and bottom.  I put a layer of foam behind it for some dimension.  I liked it, but it didn't necessarily look like it was for a gal, so I added Cheapo Dies Clover Flourish die cut in gold.  

Challenges:
Word Power Apr 2025 - sentiment as focus
Allsorts Challenge #821 - stencils. masks, or anything goes (I used a stencil as a stamp, but if that's not ok, this is anything goes)
Aud Sentiments #324 - embossing and/or flowers + a sentiment (I heat embossed my background and sentiment) 
A Cut Above: April - anything goes but must use die cut 

We'd love to have you join us for this challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

I know that my Redeemer lives! - TMS #750

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Oops!  I'm late getting my post up. :O  It's been a busy few weeks with  my daughter getting married.  But the "I do" is all said and they are man and wife! <3  My body and brain are in after-the-wedding-release-crash-mode, but I'll get back into the groove of things soon, hopefully. ;) 

Here's my card... 

This was simple to put together.  The sentiment/image was in my box of printed digis, so I cannot remember where it is from.  It is cut out with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  I did not create the extra frame shown in the sketch below, but I thought the frame in the image itself and the double stitching on the die would count. :)  The BG panel is Crate Paper Bloom and inked with Color Box Cat's Eye Merlot. 

Here's the sketch...

We'd love to have you play along with us!! 

Here's one pic from the wedding.  It's just a snapshot of our family. <3

And if you don't know what my card means or don't have a personal relationship with God, we'd love to have you tune in to our Easter program this Friday evening at 7 PM EST or Sunday morning at 10 EST as we celebrate the resurrection of the Jesus Christ who is our Redeemer.   You'll find it at fbcm.live or on our FB page...   https://www.facebook.com/fbcmilford
