Now... on to my creation:
I used the Prayer of St. Francis, which we all are familiar with if for no other reason than having heard the song that was made using the words of this prayer. I have been singing that song ever since I created this card! LOL! Anyway... my card base is Bazzill and is cut with Spellbinders Labels 23 Grand. The prayer is stamped on My Mind's Eye Bella Bella dp. I used Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterflies Small, Versafine Sepia Ink, Martha Stewart bough punch,ZVA Creative small white roses, and the larger pink rose if from the bridal dept. at Micheal's. This was super quick and easy but with the cut shape, it packs quite a punch!
Thanks so much for visiting... now from here you'll hop to Sabrina's Scrumptious Blog!
