Ever notice how the Little Things are really the most important things? I little piece of lace, a little touch of the hand, a little smile- the kind where your heart connects to someone else in a very deep way. A little prayer whispered, without many words, and yet- the very words that reach the heart of God. Faith, a small word with a huge amount of blessing and purpose. This card is for a very special friend, one who appreciates these small things. We talk of them often, and with few words, we "get" each other. We are connected by scented candles, wee little buttons and pieces of lace, scraps of paper....and we are blessed to share faith, and that is not a little thing!
Today I used Charlene's "Love is the Thread" card because I loved everything about her design, and love that we can celebrate her talent (and heart) as Queen for the Day! Miss Charlene, you have inspired me from the very beginning with your incredible work, and your wicked sense of humor! Sending you many hugs, and a BIG smile as you are honored this day my friend!
Stitching on cards is a little thing that adds so much to paper! I learned the wandering stitch from Pat (Kokirose), and added a few other stitches on different pieces to make a quilted look. I stamped the word "Faith" from ODBD and popped up the panel over a piece intended for scrap booking.
Thanks for looking!
Edit: Just a note about the card I cased from Charlene, it is from the Dirty Dozen gallery and only Fan Club members can view this gallery- and it is totally worth $2/mo to join! See Charlene's Dirty Work, and so much more. C'mon!!! (Smile)
