I loved Glenda's SCS Gallery from the first time I saw her cards, she brought that SU Bear to life...and had my attention from then!! to discover that Glenda paints as well....no surprise really....but a delight for the eyes!!! Thank you Anne for bringing this Gallery to our attention...
I knew I couldn't go past it, especially as I had been sent this gorgeous image in a RAK from Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn) and friends - I am thnking perhaps Pat Smethers!!! I just love it and couldn't get started quick enough on the IC!!! This card is also for the Flourishes Challenge, which required us to use embossing this week - it got me on a run of it...the CB is so addictive!
I layed 'Divine Swirls' embossed CS in three colours, ripping it and then sponging to give the appearance of waves, with the white being the caps as they get close to the shore. I found the most amazing technique for clouds....okay I can't lie - I used DP....I love this particular one...fitted so well here. I chalked the image lightly and sponged the edges to blend it with the background.
I have the perfect sentiment to go with it and will use it on the inside, as I feel to add anything else would ruin it...the sentiment is one that Lesley (aka Marleygo) sent me and it says "Sometimes the LORD calms the storm, other times HE calms the child and lets the storm rage.' This has special meaning to me ever since I became a Christian and I couldn't believe it when I saw a card with it on in Lesley's gallery - I think I am going to have to invest in this stamp!
Thank you for looking, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed making it...thank you Glenda for the inspiration!!! Thank YOU for your comments - I always enjoy them!!

what a 'd'vine' card, Linda! The wave swirls are absolutely perfect with your image...she is walking through that water. Wonderful case of Glenda's gorgeous work. I also love that sentiment...it is simply our job to get out of the Lord's way in our lives...thanks for this beauty

Ai yi yi! I was wondering how you achieved that gorgeous sky! Whew! Sis, this is a wonderfully calming scene. I love how you have torn the cuttled waves. Your colours are striking! I love it! (and yes, this image is via the Smethers' casa, let me know if you'd like a few more! It is one of my favorite sets) XXOOO
