This is the biggest card I ever made, 9" x 7". (quite possibly in the Mothermark region of huge cards!) It was important for me to show the background paper, and all the names of Jesus, so it just kept growing. This is a birthday card for a friend who just turned 60, and he is a prayer warrior. The inside sentiment reads "A Godly Man finds favor in the Lord" and is from Our Daily Bread Designs.
The background paper under the stitched panel looks like tooled leather, and is from Hobby Lobby. I added some Kokirose wandering stitch, some brads, and a few green sprigs from Memory Box.
Thanks for looking.

What an inspiring card for you friend , the prayer warrior!! I know he will appreciate seeing the many names of the Savior, and the powerful Scriptures you used, both inside and out.
All your wonderful details show your heart at every turn of the card - that leather look DP - very manly, the stitching , both on the top verse panel and on the BG adds that extra special touch, the nestie peppered with the brads, and your fern leaves - they all bring peace with the card. You really outdid yourself with this huge "Mothermark style" card - kudos for an exemplary creation!~! Hugs to you!

Pat, what a wonder. What a BIG wonder (that just means more to feast our eyes on) Just the best kind of feast too. Shelter in the shadow of the Almighty or any other wonderful name He goes by. You know it, sister;) What a special birthday treasure, and you may even get a mention in the SCS World Book of Records (I'm such a wimp and try to get everything onto under 6 inches max

LOVE this card.....your prayer warrior friend would not have wanted you to make it any smaller as he will appreciate the many names of Jesus surrounding this beautiful Psalm. Its large size only serves to carry the large message it sends. Hugs!!!!
