Teapotters Challenge - to be influenced by Native American culture to create a card for Cheryl, one of our SCS tribe
Alphabet Challenge - Letter P to use pastels
As I thought about the Native American culture, I believe nature, natural elements and symbols are very important. Thus I was influenced to choose my pastel colors to represent earth (greens), sky (light blue), beauty in nature (pink) in flowers or a sunrise of a new day.
The sentiment is a favorite from Psalms 32:10 and it was white heat embossed. I stamped the light green panel repeatedly without re-inking with the two greens and used die-cut stems in the same colors. The flowers were inked with Regal Rose, stamped off first for a lighter shade, and then stamped. I rubbed a little light yellow in the center and die-cut. The feathers were embossed & die-cut. Linen thread was wrapped around and elements were secured. I added the wooden hearts for a symbol of love.
Sending to Cheryl, who is a dear sister in Christ and a beloved one of the tribe on SCS. TFL

What a beautiful card! I love how you so thoughtfully considered the colors and what they represent. I also really like how everyone has chosen different verses to surround Cheryl with God's love.

I really like the way you added the feathers with the thread, Diane. How pretty to stamp the foliage onto pale green cs. Your flowers and hearts speak of your feelings and the sentiment gives needed hope~
