Hello Friends!!  I hope all is well!!!  The weather appears to be changing more to Spring, although it seems to be going back and forth between warm and sunny to cloudy and cold!  What a tease!!
It is hard to believe that in a little over a week it will be Easter!! 

Today I am popping in to share a card I created for the Shining the Light challenge at ODBD which is an Inspiration!!




I originally made a totally different creation for this challenge but decided to share this one instead.  I took my inspiration from the scripture, the flowers, and the layout of the first picture in the inspiration.  It is had to see since it is so faint but I stamped a green cross from Cross with Vines on my Neenah white paper and then used my stamping of the verse on vellum to make it more soft and subtle.  It did not want the cross to interfere with my verse.

The Pen was turned by my hubby and that is available in our Etsy Store Chisel Ink n More.  It is a pen called the Phoenix.  You can see more details here.  All proceeds go to a mission trip for this summer for our girls, Nicki and Meghan.
