Prayers
Hi readers! Happy Thursday! We’re always happy to welcome back guest designer Kelly Rasmussen to the blog! She made this gorgeous card in my favorite colors, and I didn’t even ask her to! ;) Read on and enjoy!
Hi everyone! I’m so happy to be back as a guest on the blog to share a card using the exclusive Prayers stamp set that was designed by Hero Arts for Simon Says Stamp. This was a STAMPtember® exclusive set that they are bringing back — yay! (COMING SOON!)
I started out by stamping the solid feather image from the Simon Says Stamp Oh Happy Day set four times across a white panel. To create the painted look, I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the stamp, then spritzed it with water and stamped it. I held the stamp on the cardstock for about five seconds to give the water a chance to soak into the paper. And the end result is a beautiful hand painted look!
Next I die cut the word “prayers” once from My Favorite Things Steel Grey cardstock and twice from white cardstock. Then I adhered them together to create the dimensional sentiment. I also white heat embossed one of the coordinating messages on that same grey cardstock to finish off the message. Once the sentiment was adhered over the feathers I popped up the panel on an Audrey Blue card base.
I hope you enjoyed the card and wish you all a Happy New Year!

Beautiful card, Kelly! I really loved that set and it was sold out before I could get it; so I’m thrilled they are bringing it back. That will be a must have on my wish list. Thanks for the inspiration!
the colours are very uplifting, so perfect for a card like this i think, awesome
Lovely card! ;-)
What a beautiful card. I really like the way you have added dimension to the die cut with the extra layers. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
I have wanted that prayers set yeah
I could use a HUG already this morning. Bad day at work already :(
Great way to use feather stamp images! That Prayer Set is a must have as there are so many wonderful sentiment combinations.
Wonderful colors & sentiment. I used the Tim Holtz SSS exclusive alarm clock on a Tag I posted today.

Very pretty. Love the colors and the technique.
I always enjoy seeing projects created using the Zig Clean Color markers. They are perfect for this bright, colorful card. I am curious as to why the two “layering” directs are cut in white, and the top layer done in the dark gray. Is white CS less expensive, more readily available, or what?
Lovely card. Colors are perfect.
They are gorgeous colors. Beautiful card.
HOW PRETTY, Kelly! I LOOOVE the CAS of your card! AND the “feathers” look like leaves to me. ;) BUT, I TOO LOVE the colors!!! ;) AND I am SO HAPPY they are bringing back the Prayers Stamps Set!!! (I’ll be buying it, along with the dies! ;))
