I recently joined "Crafters of Faith" here on SCS, and our February challenge was to focus on the theme of love. I chose this stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs. This also is for the technique challenge to have faux pressed flowers by using embedded embossing. I love this technique but had not used it for a long time. Finally, my card fits this week's color challenge. The night time lighting is poor, which stinks for a color challenge, but I'm just thrilled to get something uploaded this week!

This is really pretty, Kim! I love the embedded embossing technique, but I never think to use it. I love that the gold is embedded also! Very pretty. I will have to go look at the challenge.

Kim, this is a stunning card! I love that color combo with the softness of your background and the addition of that wonderful sentiment.

Oh, I like the gold leaves, very pretty! The heart centres re flowers are fun too.
Does your camera let you choose a different setting for artificial light? Or even using flash with it set not to fire at full strength can make a big difference.

I love it with ideas from multiple challenges combine to make a beautiful card such as yours! Great choice of embossing folder and die-cuts to accent your Scripture stamp.
