I have been hunting around the different blogs and sites in the search of inspiration...and definitely found some here a2 2RedBananas....I have made this card for this weeks Sketch Challenge....you can check it out here: http://2redbananas.blogspot.com/
I have a friend who orders scripture cards, she is one of my regular customers, buying at least 200 cards in the past year...I try and give her as many different ones as possible - not that it matters to her, but it does to me....I am not a great fan of repetition.....especially when she orders 20 at one time!!!!
I have sponged this image using a paper towel for the background, paper pierced and sponged the edges then layered it on black and I layered it on embossed CS and added a scalloped border punch edging with ribbon and finished off with the scripture as the sentiment...this has also been paper pierced and sponged - I nearly forgot the string of pearls that my DH came home with from one shopping expedition....I can't add peals without thinking of Kathy (aka Wattle) and Pam (aka pam124) they are pearl fanatics....so girls....black ones! LOL!

Wow Linda, no wonder you have to make so many cards. I didn't realize you sold that many. How fantastic is that? I love the image and sponging effects. You always do such a fantastic job in your "Linda Style" which I really love!!! Oh, and I see more pearls here. You might catch pearlitis from Kathy and I!!!! TFS Linda!!!
