And now for my creation....

The verse I chose is Lamentations 3:24 from the Scripture 5 Collection. I framed it with the new Fancy Labels stamp set which coordinates with the Labels 17 die from Spellbinders! The gorgeous dp is from the Susan Winget -K and Co. Collection. I just love hydrangeas and these colors!! The verse is cut out with the Petite Ovals nestabilities. The butterflies are a recent find from Michaels. The stick pin and lace is from Wild Orchids.

card recipe:
stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs: Scripture 5 collection, Fancy Labels stamp set
Paper: K and Co., gold glitter paper, black, blue
Tools: Grand Caliber machine, piercer, sewing machine, Labels 17 die from Spellbinders, Spellbinders Petite ovals (large and small)

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you enjoyed my creation!! This is the last stop....please hop on over to the ODDB blog and let us know you completed the hop and answer the question there.

Traci S. said...: Hi Chris!~

What a stunning card! I really like the hydrangea paper, too. They are one of God's most beautiful flowers...to me! Thank you for choosing this Scripture. I love Scripture's that highlight "Hope." For so many cling to His Word during times when hope is needed. The gold glitter paper you chose is a wonderful addition to the beautiful bow, and that snazzy stick pin! I really love all of the framing around the Scripture. What a way to draw one's eye to what is most important...His Word! Thank you for all of the beautiful pieces you show, Chris.

He IS Able,
