One of my dear friends is celebrating her anniversary this week. She deserves a lovely card to let her know how special the day is and, even more, to know that I pray for God's blessings in their relationship.
Here's the inside that I typed and printed before adding my handwritten best wishes. The top verse about love from the digi set, John 15:12, commands us to love one another the way Christ has love us. It's simply stated, but it's a tall order when you think of the sacrifice He made for each and every one of us when He died to atone for our own sins. The longer I think about that, the more I'd like to be like Him with His gentleness, kindness, love and encouragement that builds up others and strives to meet their needs. I see that kind of love in my friend who is getting this card. She's such a dear!
The main sentiment was inspired from some I found on a free website for card verses. I adapted the verse with a few changes of my own.
The image of hands came from a set of images and verses by Dee Dee Anderson from both her retired web store and that of retired Clear Dollar Stamps. It was called Loving Hands in case you have that one. I printed it on peach colored cardstock. The background paper is CTMH Kaleidoscope. The chipboard Hearts are from CTMH Charlotte Complements and the banner was a Cricut set that I inked, I think from Cricut Artistry. The embossing folder for the white heart panel was also from CTMH. The stitched oval was cut using an MFT die and a Cricut scallopedoval was reproportioned and sized to fit behind it.
