Here’s my card using an ink blended background, some stenciling, die cutting and an ombré sentiment.
I used 4 STAMPlorations products.
First, I used a CUTplorations For the Birds die and
a Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die. I ink blended red, orange and yellow on another die cut rectangular small piece of white card stock. Then I used the ARTplorations Plaid Maker stencil to blend green over the other colors.
The wonderful, and hope inspiring, sentiment is from a coordinating stamp set, “For the Birds.”
I am very happy with this card and love the way that it turned out.
I hope that you are inspired to play along* and remember our rules if you’d like to play to win the prize for this challenge. Make sure you stop by AAA Cards and visit all of the design team members’ blogs.

Places I’m sharing:
Cherish. I need to cherish things that are truly precious, like my faith, for example. I am reminded of the following.
1 Peter 1:6-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
This is SO cool and super creative., Melissa. Thanks so much for stopping by to share.
Blessings,
Karen
