(THANK YOU--I had these black scraps
that were screaming to be used!)
This is a sympathy card made for a friend from church who's mother recently passed away. I wanted something beautiful for her because she deserves it. This is what I came up with. A few thoughts for WAW--we show our love for God by serving others. And what better way to serve others than to bless them with out God given talents?! I am so grateful for all that He has done in my life and love Him with an imperfect love that I hope will one day be made perfect through Him.

This isn't as CAS as I really wanted it to be, but I think that it ended up being gorgeous! I used a dark brown cardstock for my base, stamped the flower images in white and then colored over them with colored pencil--black magic technique!!! A simple sentiment is the perfect addition to the sumptuous layered and blinged up flower. How's that for selling it?! ;)
Thanks for stopping by--I LOVE having you here! Please join in with these fabulous challenges and I will see you again soon! Happy stamping! :)
Hi Mynnette: I love the diecuts you've used on this. And it's hard to believe you used "scraps" on this - it's just lovely! As always, your cards make me smile. Thanks for sharing with us again at Word Art Wednesday. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,
