In Him I put my trust...

Hello Friends!! I hope everyone is well!!

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge......An Inspiration photo. I always find these challenging. The photo is full of inspiration though.

Here is my take on the inspiration:

I was inspired my the mason jar of flowers but rather than make an image with a jar and flowers, I just made flourishes of flowers to frame the scripture: Psalm 130:5 from ODBD Scripture Collection 9. It is stamped on scrap dp and cut our with a rectangular scallop die. The verse is also matted on an embossed piece of Pink pirouette and framed with the Rectangular Fleur De Lis die. I had a blast using my scraps of greens and even corrugated cardboard to create foliage and flourishes. The flowers are created with a Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch (small and large) I scored and sponged the insides to make them more like the inspiration and also more realistic.

Card Recipe:
ODBD Stamps Used: Scripture Collection 9
ODBD Dies Used: Ornate Border and Flowers Dies, Fancy Foliage
Other dies: Cheery Lynn Fancy Flourish
Punches: Martha Stewart Hydrangea, twig

Great idea for using up scraps for the leaves and flourishes - they are so gorgeous and the colours go so well together. Such a beautiful card with a lovely verse.

That corner piece with the pearl draws the eye to the last line of the sentiment and the three pearls as well as I put my trust. What beautiful floral arrangements. Thank you for dropping by and sharing your inspirational art with us today.
