Hello friends! I hope you are all well!
I
have been doing a little bit over the past several days to create a
card. Never realized before how much strength it takes to make one
little simple card but it seems that way to me right now! I have good
news though! I am half way through my chemo and am counting down the
last 10 weeks with joy, knowing that I'm half way there! Thanking the
Lord for giving me the strength to make it this far, and although I am
weak and dragging, I am still chugging along, so all thanks goes to the
Lord for that!!! I so appreciate all your prayers, messages, emails and
cards!!! Thank you!
This card was created with the January release from Our Daily Bread designs, Wishing Well.
I had fun coloring it with Copics, and although I started out trying
for a masculine card, I did an about face part way through and added
some flower soft and pink paper so I guess it really doesn't qualify any
more for masculine, but that's how it goes sometimes! I stamped the
image with a soft brown ink as I wanted to just color it lightly with
monochromatic color tones. However, that too changed as I went along.
Anyhow... the image is cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Circles Dies, and the sentiment is cut with the Pennant Dies. I used just a corner of a die cut from the BoHo Background Die, and I used the Rustic Beauty Paper Collection
(not currently available) on a blushing bride mat, and that on a Soft
Suede base. I let the design paper do most of the work and only
embellished with a tiny May Arts bow, and the flower soft, which is from
a Fuschia Mix.
It
felt good to create a card this week! I don't get down to my basement
studio very often lately, but this was a little bit of happy for me this
week! Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look! It's so
appreciated!!!

Do
Not Fear, for I am with you! Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I
will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous
right hand.
Thank you Lord,

Oh, dearest Grace! What a surprise to see a beautiful card with this sweet wishing well! I'm so glad you were able to ever so slowly make this card and even get down to visit your basement studio (your happy place). I praise God that you are halfway through your chemo and that He continues to give you strength, encouragement, and courage through this difficult chemo treatment. You know I am among the many who continue to pray for you daily and praise God for how He uses all that He brings into our lives for His glory and purpose. May God continue to bless you and your dear family as you all travel this road God is leading you on! I love you dearly, precious friend!
Grace, your card is beautiful, as always. And I am so happy to hear you are at the half way mark, and even though you're struggling, it's so good to see that you are able to make a card at times. The creativity that God gives us, always makes us feel better too. Thank you for giving us an update. I will continue to say prayers for you, that you get through the last 10 weeks even better than the first. And that God heals you completely. Much love and hugs.
