Word Art Wednesday

The Word Art Wednesday challenge is focusing on Luke 1:45. Elizabeth is speaking to Mary and declares, "Blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled". After a quick Google search, here's a more detailed breakdown:

Context: This verse comes from the infancy narrative of Jesus, specifically the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth, who are both pregnant with Jesus and John the Baptist, respectively. 

The Statement: Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, proclaims Mary as blessed because of her faith, that is, her belief that the words spoken to her by the angel would come true. 

Key Meaning: The verse highlights the importance of faith and trust in God's promises, even when they seem impossible. 

Mary's Faith: Mary's faith is emphasized as she believed that she, a virgin, would conceive and bear a son, the Messiah, despite the apparent impossibility of the situation. 

Implications: Luke 1:45 serves as a reminder that God's promises are trustworthy and that those who believe in Him will be blessed. 

On to how I made my card...

I started with one of my favorite 4 layer stencil sets - Berry Branches - from Papertrey Ink. I printed the sentiment (after sizing it on a Word document) then stenciled the ink colors on top. I cut out two of the twig frames and adhered them together for added dimension.
