I was excited to see there is a new weekly challenge on the Our Daily Bread Designs blog and this is the first challenge: to use hearts somewhere on our card. I knew right away I wanted to use an old stencil trick I learned many years ago and that's to hand tear a heart shape in a scrap piece of copy paper, then sponge the outline as the background. I thought a couple of hearts would be a perfect backdrop for an all-time fave verse from John 3:16. I stamped the sentiment in black on vellum then adhered it to the white BG w/hearts panel using brads. The corner flourish is a Spellbinder's die from the Doodle Parts Nestabilities set. The leaves and the lace heart border are Martha Stewart punches and the flower is a stamp from Verve. It's still snowing in VA...guessing 1 1/2 feet already and more to come! Thanks for stopping by...

Beautiful, Wanda! Love the way you created the background hearts! Wonderful heart border! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Wanda. Never hear that verse enough and you have framed it wonderfully with the hearts in the BG and the flourishes on the white panel. Great use do the MS punch too. Wonderfully done!
ReplyDeleteI am having severe flashbacks from our Christmas last year where we got dumped on! Have never shoveled so much in my entire life and hope to never have to do it again LOL! Wish we could get some of that snow because we had a all time record for a WARM January!! NOT good when you have the Olympics coming in two weeks! They are actually trucking snow in to the local mountain because it is melting away in the warm temps. May have a strip of white for the event's run and green grass everywhere else - Murphy's Law.
