Here is my card
The scripture is "Trust in the Lord with all you heart, and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
As you can imagine I really need to memorize this verse this week. I am going to give this to my Dad tomorrow. I also read Dawn's blog and she mentioned embossing with clear embossing powder on vanilla cardstock. I had never done this before, so I wanted to give it a try. I really added such shimmer to the card. I LOVE IT!!!
I also used my water color crayons on the fun big flower from the retired SU set Fabulous Flowers. I added the pearl accents in the leaves or what I colored as leaves. I also added some spring moss polka dot ribbon and paper piercing to balance the other side. I know my Dad will like it as well. Izzy is going to make him a card tomorrow morning and I will be sure to take a picture for you as well.
It's a good life!

ReplyDeleteWow Terri,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I have had some friends who have had shingles and they say it is VERY painful. I sure hope he is better soon.
I really like your card, it's perfect for your dad's situation right now and the color combination.
This is a gorgeous card!!! You did a beautiful job with the challenge. I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope he improves quickly and I'm sure he loved this card!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I'll be praying for him. Please keep us updated. BTW- your card is beautiful. So elegant!
ReplyDeleteThis is so soft and pretty! Love the pearl accents!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so beautiful and sure to put a smile on your Dad's face. I love the polka dot background with the clear embossing powder. I'm headed to CHA so I am saving it to buy there! I LOVE how you stamped the flower and added the pearls and I especially like the pierced paper detail. The sentiment is beautiful, too!
