COF-Love

February 2019: Hostess/Tracie (taclary) on Splitcoaststampers for the Crafters of Faith Challenge

Challenge: OK everyone I have the challenge for February. Since February is Valentine's Day, 
Please make a card about Love. {... I will dedicate my card to my mom}

Scripture: I am selecting 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

I could not resist using a new Bugaboo image Two Hearts. This image was a freebie in the Bugaboo newsletter : )


 I thought it was a great image for the theme, as when we marry, our hearts are one. Our desires, needs, wants are now seen in the lens of 'us' instead of just 'me'.
  I colored the image with Copic markers. The background was done with a Stampin Up stencil- hearts- never used before- and initially I was water coloring through the stencil, but I progressed to sponging color through the stencil in Pinks and Purples using SU inks. I sponged Pretty in Pink ink over the entire background.  Yep- that cardstock started out as plain white!
  I used some Pink Bias Tape for the bow. The cardstock base is Rose Red - which has to be my absolute favorite SU color.
  I hope you can see the shimmer I added- on the white later right over Rose Red, and the white around the hearts in the bird image.  Also, around the white outline of the Two Birds.  The sequins in the corners are also SU.

What a perfect background for this sweet stamp!! Love does change everything in our lives and always for the better. It makes us less selfish, and expands us in ways we cannot even imagine. It is unfailing, never dies, and is the greatest thing we have for eternity. May you always feel the comfort of God's great love.
