Stamping Sisters in Christ Challenges 42 Genesis 1:26

It is Sunday and that means a Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges time.  Our hostess today is Kathy Winter, one of the founding stampin' sisters and a talented one at that.  Our verse today is Genesis 1:26 And God said,"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." I love Genesis Chapter 1. What a great God we serve. He spoke and the world came into existence. He spoke and the creatures were made. He spoke and man was made.  You can not but praise our heavenly Father for His carefully and thoughtfully designed world. All made for us to enjoy and rule over as Psalm 8:6 states. "You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;  You have put all things under his feet," I made a card today for Isabella's Sketchbook and used her hummingbird image. I wish that I could share it now but you will have to wait until Wednesday. *heehee* They are such amazing little birds full of beauty.  As I colored them I thought of these verses.  Who can look at hummingbirds and not see God?  He made them to serve a function in nature but He did it with such glorious detail.

The challenge: Make a card/project that has some kind of animal on it. It could be a fish, bird, or land mammal, or a creeping bug.

You have to look hard today to see my little creature.  He's there... right on the bow.  I used the dragonfly from the Our Daily Bread Designs With Heartfelt Sympathy set, stamped it onto vellum, and colored it from underneath with white and gray Prismacolor pencils.  I made this card for a friend of mine that is moving away.  It is only two and one half hours away so I will be able to visit often. In addition, Christian Paper Crafts has a Fun on Friday Challenge (FOF56) each Friday hosted by our own Candace.  This week we are to make a Clean and Simple Card (CAS).  The simple part is that I made it a one layer card with the exception of the Spellbinders flourishes that gave it a faux embossing look. I colored the fuchsia with Primacolor pencils and Gamsol, added a two ribbon bow, and added the dragonfly.  The scripture is from Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Series 1 set.

The typeset was created long and thin so that it could be made into a bookmark which is what I did next. This time I used the dove from the Confirmation set, the same verse from the Scripture Series 1 set, and the "Black Magic" technique.  I love that old black magic. *Grins* The trim around the edge is SU's Almost Amethyst CS  but the photo is a little washed out.  I thought my friend would like to have a bible bookmark to remember me

Our sponsor this week is Wild Flower Kids Stamps. They are donating 5 digital stamps of our random winner's choice. Don't forget to  stop by the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge blog to see all the wonderful and varied creations.

Today's Blessing: “I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise God to my last breath! May He be pleased by all these thoughts about Him, for He is the source of all my joy” (Ps. 104:33–34, TLB).

Thanks for taking a peak today,
Randi
