It's been a beautiful fall here...but the thing about this wonderful season in Colorado is it can all be over too soon! If we have a drenching rain, or a couple of very windy days...poof...it is over! So while I am thankful for the beauty inherent in this season, my gratitude is not based on the changing weather patterns, or the seasons, but on those things which do not shift with the changing winds, but are anchored deep in my soul. My faith, my love for family, my trust in a good God that sometimes allows bad things to happen for the purpose of growing me up and establishing my deeper in His word and His promises.
This card is for two challenges, the Flourishes October sketch challenge here, and Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week to make a thank you card. You can click on the SSC blog on my sidebar to view the entire challenge!
The stamped background in my oval is Flourishes "Thank You" set, the Leaf swag is SU! Country Blessings...and the technique is "emerging color" found on this week's Gina K's Stamp TV. I used Tim Holtz distress inks for the colors.
Thanks for stopping by, and wishing you a day full of blessings!
This is stunning, beautiful colors. Thank you for joining with us at Stampin Sisters in Christ.
ReplyDeleteTraci, Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog. I'm not very good at 'public speaking', especially on subjects as personal as our faith, but I am getting a bit more used to it. It's nice to know that folks actually read what is written :) Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love this technique! Thanks for sharing with us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge! Hope to see you back next week!
