ODBDSLC211 A Rose for you...

Happy Tuesday Friends!! I hope you are having a great beginning to your day!!

Today I am popping in to share a card using a sketch for the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!

I just love the variety of styles you can create when you create cards, this week I am going from the masculine take on the Shining the Light sketch to the more feminine with lots of texture.

I colored and fussy cut the Rose image from Our Daily Bread Designs. I popped it up on a layer of Majestic Labels that is also cut out using the Vintage Labels dies from ODBD. It was then layered on the Vintage Flourish Pattern die.

After embossing the background with the Paper Studio Quatrefoil embossing folder, I adhered some pearls. The card is framed with the Spellbinders Valiant Honor Die.

Part of enjoying or making the most of a day is being thankful to God for each and every day!! No day is a guarantee and is indeed a gift!! My recent accident, has taught me how quickly things can happen or how what seems little things can be life threatening. Who would have thought tripping over a wheel barrow and breaking or injuring a leg would end up in a major pulmonary embolism. Never take life and health granted. Have you thanked God for the day He has given to you!!

Here is the photo of the sketch:

Diana Nguyen said...: This is also gorgeous with its bright roses. Those dies... sigh... you're so wonderful at layering and texturing. We just came back from a funeral yesterday and yes - enjoy each day and never take it for granted. But I must admit, I will probably steer clear from wheelbarrows henceforth.; August 19, 2014 at 9:53 AM
