Paper:

   Boho Blue A-2

   Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSP 5-1/4 x 4

First, I stamped the bible verse on the top-center of the Thoughtful Journey DSP panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Star Bright

Although I did not use a stamp set, everything on this card coordinates with the "Christmas Gleaming" stamp set. I do my best to use all of my supplies, regardless if they are current or not. If you do not own these products, substitute your own and simply use the layout or colors as inspiration. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Brightly Gleaming DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements

   Classic Weave Ribbon (8")

   Clear Faceted Gems

   Glue Dots

   Stampin' Seal+

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Classic Weave Ribbon to the bottom of the DSP panel. I used a few glue dots on the back of the ribbon to hold it in place and then adhered it securely on the back of the panel. Note: I cut the ribbon so the sentiment was centered on the bottom.

I then adhered the DSP panel onto the Very Vanilla card front. 

Next, I arranged and attached the foil elements to the front of the card. 

I then added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center of the star.

Lastly, I added a Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card. This step is optional, but I think it adds strength and a bit more elegance to the card.

I brought the stamp down a bit each time until the panel was filled.

Next, I adhered the panel onto an Evening Evergreen matte.

Translucent Zentangle

Zentangling can be fun, but it requires patience. Since you are drawing repetitive patterns, many find it calming, which in turn leads one to achieve a state of "zen." Thoughts?

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Always Artichoke

Technique:

   Zentangling

Accessories:

   Micron 03 Archival Ink Pen

   Glitter Enamel Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then stamped the translucent leaves randomly around the card front, using Granny Apple Green.

Next, I stamped the smaller leaves in the blank spaces, using Always Artichoke ink.

Using the Micron 03 pen, I zentangled one cluster of leaves with different patterns.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Granny Apple Green card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of Glitter Enamel Dots next to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
