Fresh Flowers and Grace!

Hello Delightful friends and family,

Just a quick post to share a couple of items that I made.  The first is a tag that I made for Word Art Wednesday #38. The challenge is "Never Give Up" well, the word "grace" has so much meaning for me. Especially knowing that even though I don't deserve God's grace, He has generously given it to me through my Lord Jesus Christ and that makes me want to persevere and not give up.  He doesn't give up on me!!  It is definitely transforming and so I've included a butterfly on this tag, what better way to describe a transformed life - catapillar to butterfly.  So glad the caterpillar doesn't give up the battle with the cocoon! 

If you are facing a battle, don't give up. Reach up and know the Lord is there ready to extend His hand of grace to help in the time of your need.  

Here are the ingredients: Tag, (4.25 x 5.5) Paper Accents; Inks: Distress Inks and stains, Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters; Distress Pen: Faded Jeans; Ranger Clear Embossing powder, Perfect Pearls Mist (Mint), Paint Dabber (Lettuce); Archival Ink: Aquamarine; Memento Ink: Pear Tart;

Stamps: Hampton Arts (Beautiful butterfly); Taylored Expressions (Grace); Grass (Stencil from Plaid Folkart, Dragonflies).

My second project is a card and I used Amy's color inspiration photo Scrapin N Style #2 and Card Positioning Systems #275 sketch. 

 

Amy said on her blog about the color challenge to " think fresh" and what's better than fresh flowers and a smile!!

Here are my list of ingredients:

Paper: Echo Park Summer Days collection (the larger flowers are actually paper pieced with one of the papers and the smaller ones colored with Copic Markers); Card Stock: Bazzill;  Stamps: Gina K Designs (One In a Million set); Ink: Memento, Tuxedo Black ; Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities: Large Deckled Rectangles and Standard Circles; Buttons (stash) and Ribbon, American Crafts.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for visiting!

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1    now that's grace :-)
