And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)
Hello friends! One of the favorite weeks of the year at Splitcoaststampers is going on right now…"Dare to Get Dirty 2015." If you are a Fan Club Member at Splitcoaststampers, you can participate in the many challenges for a chance to win some awesome prizes. If you are not a Fan Club Member, check HERE for details on how to join. I'm never quite able to complete all of the challenges, but this year I'll give it my best shot…and I'll be sharing some of my challenge cards here.
The following card was made for Cheryl's challenge. Cheryl has a gallery full of gorgeous floral cards so I decided to feature the beautiful Fragrance stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs for her challenge.
Creative Nugget: The background was made by white embossing the Belles Vignes corner stamp, then sponging distress inks over the embossing, but leaving the upper right corner white. Texture was added with the new Boho Background Dies and the panel stitched to Smokey Shadow card stock and attached to a Neenah Solar Crest card base. The roses from the Fragrance stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and arranged around the oval frame made with the new Ovals and Stitched Ovals Dies. The sentiment is from the Scripture Series 3 stamp set. A bow and pearls finish the card.
Inspirational Nugget: Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. (Ephesians 5: 1-2) AMP
Oh, if we would all follow this example, we could say good-bye to the hatred, division, and strife which characterizes our world today.
