Love and Prayers and a request of my winner!

 

 Hello sweet friends! I hope you all are doing well!!!  I am enjoying a week with my sweet little granddaughter who is staying with me as her mom and brother are on a mission trip.  We are having lots of fun and I'm not working on cards  this week, but I do have a card to share with you that I made last week for a  challenge on SCS.  It was a color challenge, and although I don't usually use these colors, I decided to give it a try.

I used this month's release from Our Daily Bread designs, Loving Memories and Sharing Your Sorrow for the sentiment.  I stamped with Memento and colored with Copics, then cut out with a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die, using the out of box technique for the parts of the image that were larger than the panel. My base is Kraft from SU!, the white is Whisper White (SU!) and the designer paper is Prima Fairy Flora.  The little corner die cuts are Spellbinders Doily Accents.  I did pierce around the card, though that is hard to see.  I added some pearls and same punched butterflies from my Martha Stewart punch, and more pearls in the corners.  The ribbon is just a snippet scrap of satin that I had in my stash forever.  Although it's always hard to make sympathy cards, these sets really make it easier to say just what your friend or loved one needs to hear.  Here are the sets I used:

 

As for my blog candy winner....Christine... if you read this post... I need your snail mail address!  I got your email of thanks but I need an address to send your goodies to!  :)  Please email me with that so I can get your package out to you!!!

May you all have a blessed week! Here's a verse that touched me in a special way this week:

Ps 29:11 "The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace."  Perhaps someone needed this verse today, or perhaps it's jut the right verse to add to a card of encouragement... but either way... be blessed!

hugs,
