I like to make blank notecards because I enjoy writing personal messages to friends, relatives, and acquaintances. This one has a simple reminder to seek shelter under God's protection and comfort when troubles arise, just as a mother hen would protect her young by covering them with her sheltering wings. I used the CTMH Fresh Air papers with a Cricut Flower Market branch wreath.
I used these colors from Color My Heart Color Dare #299, diagonal down: Juniper, New England Ivy, and Glacier. I added a Nutmeg for the branches, White Daisy base, and Gold for the embossing, sequins, and white and gold baker's twine.
The inside was stamped with a feather from the July 2017 stamp of the month using Glacier ink. There's lots of room for me to write!
Thank you for visiting! May you find comfort and shelter under His wings in the stormy times of life!
