A friend & I were talking about how God speaks to us through nature, and what comfort that brings. It reminded me of this verse from Psalm 19, and thought it should be a card! My yard is my sanctuary, every day, the flowers, birds and my lil critters remind me of how God provides all things. Sentiment is computer generated, using BibleGateway. When a Scripture is not on a stamp, it is really a great tool- you can type in a Scripture reference, or topic, and all references pop up! Makes searching very easy. I change the font and print on DP.
This is a lil bitty card, measuring only 4" x 2 1/4". The frame is from Spellbinder's Antique Frame and Accents. I am really enjoying the ways I can use this frame! Once the Scripture was printed on DP and framed using SB Floral Ovals, I then popped it up on thin foam tape. The seam binding was a gift from a very precious friend (as were the SB's!), and I am treasuring it all!
Thanks for looking!

Also by the grace of God, look at all the masterpieces you create with your hands, using paper! I know you like the dirt too, but gosh your cards are a work of art-straight from your heart!

God speaks to us in so many ways and nature is all around us showing Him to us....LOVE this card. What a great die highlights this lovely Psalm. The greenery and flower are just the perfect touch. Reminds me of how I love getting up and watching the sun begin to peek out and highlight all that is around me.

Ahhh, Pat, 'tis the truth you speak of being in your sanctuary - I have had the blessing of being there and know firsthand of the overwhelming peace that is there in nature!
This may be a little card, but it sure packs in the beauty! You have the most beautiful way of embellishing your verses with your dies, flourishes, and flowers - God has surely blessed your hands as well as your heart to create beauties like this! WE are so lucky you share!

Beautiful card. The scripture is wonderful (love how you shared what it means to you here - very touching), the SB is awesome, the SB is beautiful, and the blooms are really special. Your creations are so meaningful and so full of warmth - it continually amazes me. Hugz and HB wishes still (you know you can stretch a birthday over a week easy and sometimes longer - LOL). LYMI!
