This is a special card that I made for a friend whose husband recently passed away. I found this paper that we'd had for awhile which fit perfectly, as it had words written on it about memories, good times, and remembering...very fitting. It's been a sobering reminder that our lives are but a vapor and eternity is only a breath away.
I used accents of Kiwi Kiss and Not Quite Navy to set off the white. I used a couple of retired sets from Stampin' Up! I used the Doodle This set for the flowers. I wanted to do something different than what I've been doing lately, so I used the wonderful scripture verses in the Elegant Inspirations set for the focal points on each of the cards. I embossed these verses with white embossing powder, so they really stand out! I also added white stitching and some paper piercing and embellishments. We had just been to Michael's and my mom had gotten some cute ribbon. It matched perfectly with the cards I made! I also finished the insides with colored cardstock and white card stock again and stamped images. I used the blurred vision technique on the inside images.
They look refreshing and I hope they refresh the spirit of whoever may receive them. Maybe you need some refreshing. Here's one of the verses printed out for you. May it refresh you! =)
"By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me." Psalms 42:8
