Joanne's challenge to the CCEE Stampers this week was to focus on the sentiment.
I love these long thin designs from ODBD, and chose to use one of them, with an embedded embossing background.
Base card and main layer are a pearlescent blue card. I used MFT die-namics for the sun and rainbow, and a Sizzix die for the flowers, embossing with SU lattice folder. Grass and mat layers are BG Sugar Rush. Sentiment stamped on white card with Versafine Black, corners rounded. The butterfly is not embedded, and has a couple of dots of Liquid Pearl.
If you'd like to focus on the sentiment, share your card by linking on the blog or by using CCEE1212 in the galleries .
As the colour topaz ranges from light to deep blue, I'm also including this as a submission for the ODBD 4th Anniversary challenge to use topaz or aqua and a favourite ODBD sentiment.

Sabrina, how beautiful your card is. This scripture is so perfect sitting atop all the the beauty He has provided for us. I love the embedding of the background.

Oh, Sabrina, beautiful sentiment and card. I love the embedded elements in the pretty EFd BG. I have been searching for a sun die and will have to check out that site now. As always, a beautiful card!

Oh, Sabrina, this particular verse always reminds me of the Irish Blessing! What a fantastic idea to do this brightly colored scene and then do the embedded embossing on it - LOOKS FABULOUS!!
It is almost as if you invoked a blessing on one of the greatest stamp companies in our lives - Thanks so much for sharing this great card!!
