I'm working on a set of cards for a fundraiser auction in November. In our community there are no Christian stores where you can find a card like this. I chose a verse from Our Daily Bread Designs that means a lot to me. I'm often in need of physical strength that I no longer enjoy and entreat the Lord to help. I also seem to misplace things more often and pray desparately at times for God to help me find them. How thankful I am that He hears our prayers and shows us His love by providing the strength we need, whether physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional. The verse I chose from ODBD Scripture Collection 2, Psalm 138:3 says, "When I pray you answer me! You encourage me by giving me the strength I need."
I used the sketch from Our Daily Bread Design's Shining the Light Challenge this week:
There were some light blue dots on the top of the patterned paper, so I used a CTMH embossing folder called Confetti that has more dots on top and fewer on the bottom. I changed the angle of the lighting in this next photo so you could see the texture:
All of the materials used are older CTMH except for the ribbon from Hobby Lobby. I cut the background leaves and leaf border using Cricut Artistry and the darker leafy branch in the foreground was cut using Cricut Art Philosophy. I honestly don't remember which cartridge helped me cut the sentiment shapes. Being able to save images on Cricut Design Space has advantages that I love, but makes it difficult to remember which cartridge was used. Even so, The Cricut Explore is my favorite cutting tool.
I'm sharing this card with the following challenges:
