I got a lovely comment from Karen at Word Art Wednesday (here) who invited me to participate in the challenge Word Art Wednesday sponsors, the current one being #176 (wordartwednesday.blogspot.com). This invitation came along right at the same time that I was attempting to recreate a flower from a tutorial on Becca Feekin’s blog, Amazing Paper Grace.
So I decided to use the crinkled flowers from Becca’s tutorial in a card using the inspirational verse that Word Art Wednesday had set forth as a downloadable free image. This is the result. If you click on the image you will get a larger version. I hope you find some meaning in the words I chose to use from the verse.
I used Recollections paper for the card and the flower. I have a lovely dandelion background stamp with no name (sorry!) which I used with Versamark Embossing Ink and Sweet Stamps Fine Embossing Powder. I added three tulips from Wild Orchid Crafts. The bow is made with Snug Hug Rayon Seam Tape and crowned with a Paper Studio brad. Pearls for the flower centers were also from Paper Studio.
I printed the words on the same cardstock I had made the card with using my inkjet printer. I am getting pretty handy with and dependent upon these digital helpers!
Let me hear from you… Blessings & Hugs, ya’ll.

Very pretty embossing on this card. Love the lay-out too! I am so glad you joined us in our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. We are beginning another challenge today so, hope you link with us again. Leaving you an inspirational verse as declared by Jesus to them that believe in John 6:39 and it says, “And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. ” Have a blessed week!
