They shall be white as snow

White-snowflakes-with-a-spl

Isaiah 1:18 Come now and let us reason together," Says the Lord, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Welcome to another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge! This week our hostess is the my wonderful DT sister, Rebekkah. She has chosen Isaiah 1:18 for the Scripture and the challenge is a color challenge: to make a white card/ project with a splash of red.

It's hard to think of a more meaningful Scripture when you really think about it! This is the message of salvation through the precious shed blood of Jesus for you and for me... applied to us by grace through faith. Because of the work of Christ on the cross... my sins are washed clean. Does that fact amaze you? Do you believe it? Are you living in the joy that comes from knowing you've been forgiven and your sins have been removed... not just forgiven but removed as far as the east is from the west? As we anticipate this wonderful time of year when we celebrate the birth of Christ... let's never forget that He came not just to be that sweet baby in the manger who would grow up to do many miracles.... He came to die! He came to die for the sins of the world! I hope your Christmas celebrations will be centered on Him and what He did for you!!!

My card is made with Our Daily Bread designs Peace & Joy set and matching Die. I used the Snowflake Background and embossed with Stampendous Kaleidoscope embossing powder. While it looks clear in the photo... in real life it picks up all sorts of colors and sparkle. I also used 2 embossing folders... one is Crafts Too and one is Cuttlebug from the Winter Wonderland collection. The gems are from Micheal's, ribbon from my stash. I hot glued the snowflake beads to the ribbon. The card stock is Gina K.
