Good Morning Papercrafters. Today I am thrilled to have participated in the Stampin' Sisters for Christ Challenge. I just love this challenge blog and wish I had time to play along more often. These ladies are so very special in what they do on their challenge blog. Each Sunday they provide a bible verse to inspire us! In addition they have wonderful sponsors each week and this week the sponsor is Layers of Color!
Today's verse is ...
Matthew 6: 9-13 "This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
And the challenge is ...
Make a card/project that features prayer; either someone praying, or a verse about prayer, or a greeting that lets someone know you are praying for them.
I had so much fun with this project. My guest bedroom (when we get our new house in the spring, is going to be shabby chic). I have already bought the bed linens and I want to fill the room with shabby pieces of art. So here is another project for that room ...
I had so much fun creating this one.
1. Spray metal birdcage with white spray paint. After this is dry, apply crackle paint.
2. Embellish with pearl trim (Hobby Lobby).
3. Add a branch (purchased in the floral department at Hobby Lobby) to the inside of the cage. To make it look more realistic paint it brown and add brown crackle paint.
4. Add floral embellishment to outside of cage (Prima).
5. Stamp butterfly images, color, and trim. Apply black glitter with a glue pen.
6. Adhere to outside of cage.
7. Type bible verse and print. Trim to a banner.
Aren't these butterfly images gorgeous?? They are from a Layers of Color set called "Flutterescent"!
