The Twisted Sistahs Challenge was presented by Marleygo. Lesley asked us to make a card with one of our favorite scriptures on it, use embossing powder and at least one Nestie. We were also to give the card to someone who needs encouragement. This card goes to my mother. It's Mother's Day, and I haven't given her a card yet. This verse is all about my mom. She's brought more people to Christ than most pastors. She's 97 and has only been out of the hospital for about a week now, and she sits in her chair watching TV but moans and groans due to some pain she's been having in her back. I've offered her medication for it, but she won't take it. She's not much on pills except vitamins. I'm hoping when the bed sore heals, she'll be back to normal, at least what's normal for her at 97. I made some of the "Rolled Roses" according to some instructions by Blooms in a Box. The larger roses were made a little differently. Instead of cutting a "teardrop" out of the center of the scalloped circle, I kept on cutting a spiral and then rolled up the whole thing. I also used two different Scallop Circle Punches from Stampin' Up!. The lace came from Ksnurse. Thanks Shari!! Thanks for taking a peek!!!

What an awesome card for your sweet Mom - I can believe that she brought a lot of people to the Lord - she is such a cutie, and I am SO glad I got to meet her last year. You sure picked a great Verse for her card, and surrounded it with the most gorgeous blooms - getting to be an expert, aren't you?? Keep up the beautiful work!! HUGS!
