This card is for the HYCCT Honor Your Elders challenge. My mother-in-law was always quilting, crocheting, sewing, or creating something. She made cathedral window quilts for all 5 of my babies when they were born, and I treasure them, especially now that she lives only in our memories. So I thought it would be appropriate to do a cathedral window card in honor of my mother-in-law.

I got a new Our Daily Bread stamp on Saturday, and, unlike a lot of stamps that just get stacked on a counter until I'm ready to use them, this one saw action right away! :) It's pretty, all on it's own, but, OMGosh, I can't get over how gorgeous it is with color! I needed a card for my DD's baptism yesterday, and I hadn't been able to find a stamp that I thought was right for a 9-year old. I "settled" for this cathedral window image, but once I had finished the card, I couldn't believe I almost passed this stamp up! It's gorgeous! I wanted to emboss it onto acetate and color the back so it would look more like stained glass, but for some reason, the acetate couldn't stand up to the heat, so instead I stamped it onto white cs, colored, then fussy cut it, went over all the stained glass lines with a black Spica pen, then added Glossy Accents to all the windows. I topped it with a couple of bows, a sweet mini doily die cut, which I embossed with black embossing powder, and a gold, heat embossed cross image, that I found in Michael's dollar bin a couple of years ago. The Alleluia sentiment is also heat embossed, and the green flourish die cuts are coated in clear glitter. I wanted just a little something in the upper corners, so I transferred the negative pieces of an outline sticker. To give the personalization panel on the inside the look of crumpled paper, I sponged Dusty Concord Distress Ink around the edges, then tapped the edge of my inked sponge tool randomly across the cs. The Bible verse is stamped in Pear Tart Memento ink, and the page dividers in Dusty Concord. The perforated lines on the outer edges of the dp mat were made with an MFT die.  The window stamp ended up being perfect for a Baptism, and my DD loves her card! But, don't you think this would be perfect as an Easter card, too! :-) I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Happy Easter and/or Sweet Treats Corrosive Challenge #197: Pretty Pastels The Paper Shelter Challenge #153: Easter Time Thanks for stopping by, and have a blessed week! ~Hugs, Supplies Used: Thanks for visiting my blog!

Here is another card I made for today's colour challenge - given to us by Barbara - colours are - rose red, mint macaroon, tip top taupe and the desert option is to use ribbon. I also wanted to try Sabrina's Technique challenge - Cathedral Window Patchwork - as I received a beautiful Cathedral Window Patchwork card from Sabrina last month :) I really love how this turned out. I made a nine patch quilt - used five different papers for my squares. I matted the nine patch with a dark brown. Sewed on the 4 buttons. Created the base card - used a pink checkered paper, next the dark brown card stock and then a pretty DP that had all the colours (close to) of the colour challenge. I sewed around the papers. Stamped my sentiment on all four sides. Popped up the 9 patch panel. Finished the inside of the card. I really love how this one turned out. Hugs..Pat

I changed the clothes on the Tim Holtz/ Sizzix Christmastime dies to a bride and groom. I cut the Cathedral Window and added a quote chip.

Unfortunately, this year has seen too many deaths. This sympathy card is meant to resemble a cathedral window. Created a somewhat see through window. If you put the card together you can see the inside sentiment: The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
