Sunshine and Smiles

Hello Delightful friends and family!!
What a beautiful autumn day I woke up to this morning!!  September and October here on the north coast of California is always such a pretty season.  This verse on the card certainly matched up with today that's for sure!  The leaves are turning, the pumpkins are getting huge, the sunflowers are in bloom and we are having some gorgeous weather to enjoy and it really makes me "stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God!"  I hope you are enjoying your day and considering the glory of God as seen in His beautiful creation.

This is a beautiful digital image and sentiment is from CDS (which is about to close up shop on Sept. 30 so get over there quick!) it is called Sunshine and Smiles.  I love sunflowers and this image was a delight to color! I still consider myself a novice with the Copic Markers but I sure enjoy coloring with them.

 I thought this sentiment from Penny Black Stamps (Friendship) was perfect to coordinate for the inside of the card.
Other Ingredients:
Designer Paper: Simple Stories (Harvest Lane)
Inks: Kodak Printer ink (digi); Distress Inks (Vintage Photo and Peacock Feathers); Archival Ink (coffee)
Ribbon: United Ribbons seambinding (I dyed it with the Distress inks mentioned above)
Card Stock: Neenah bright white; Bazzill

Thanks for visiting and this card will be entered at 
 Word Art Wednesday #99 Anything Goes 

Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”  John 11:40

    Hi Natalie! I love sunflowers. We grew then a long time ago and they were just giants. They say that the flower tracks the sun, trying to face it's light all day. Beautiful!

    And I love the sentiment in the card too. So nice :)

    Beautiful card, Natalie! I, too, am partial to sunflowers (as you might have guessed -- hee hee!) I can not tell that you are a "novice" to Copic markers -- you colored this so beautifully! Love the papers you used especially. I need to go find those for my stash. Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
