ODBDSLC249 Butterfly Thanks

Hello, Friends!! Today I am enjoying time at the lake and viewing the most beautiful art canvas of all: God's Nature. I just marvel at all the colors and textures! So peaceful and gorgeous!!

Today I am popping in to share a card for this week's Shining the Light color challenge at ODBD...a color challenge!!

For my creations, I used the Boho Blessings and Boho Paisley Background stamp set from this past weekend's release at well as the Stitched Ovals and ovals die. After stamping the butterfly in black Memento and coloring it with copics, I embossed the butterfly in Holographic Embossing powder, gold leafed the edges and cut it out with the Fancy Fritillary die. The Boho Paisley Background was also colored with copics and embossed with Holographic Embossing powder for added sparkle. After layering my butterfly on Stitched Ovals and the Ovals dies as well as adding a sentiment cut out with the Mini Tags die, a bow, a decorative border around all the edges using the Flourished Stars Pattern die, a piece of gold cardstock cut out using the Vintage Labels, and adding a Beautiful Border along the bottom, my card was complete.

Card Recipe:

ODBD Stamps: Boho Blessings, Boho Paisley Background

ODBD Dies: Fancy Fritillary, Beautiful Borders, Flourished Star Pattern, Stitched Ovals, Ovals, Vintage Labels, Mini Tags

Psalm 96: 11-12

11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it;

12 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy.

Each day brings new trials and joys!! Let us look at each new day with thankfulness and look to Him as it builds our character and faith in Him. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Thanks for stopping by and for your uplifting comments. They are so appreciated.

blessings,
