Here is my card for the challenge:
Spring is in full bloom here in northern California! The flowering trees, my wisteria is budding (yay!!) the colors are beginning to burst out. Last challenge I was heading to Mount Shasta to check out the wedding venue for my daughter's upcoming wedding and we got stuck in the snow!! Had to call a tow truck to the rescue. What an adventure! The snow was knee deep at the venue, sure hope it melts by the end of May!! The wedding is outdoors and it's going to be such a pretty setting (minus the snow!) So seeing the flowers starting to peek out has been very encouraging.
Here are a couple of pictures from my trip to Mount Shasta,
Iron Horse Unlimited (wedding venue)
Stuck in the snow (fyi: I was not driving!)
Card info:
I water colored on 140# cold press Strathmore paper using Koi watercolors. The clear stamp set is an American Crafts Florals (Kelly Creates line)which I've stamped with Archival Watering Can ink. I've mat the Scripture and the watercolor paper with a dark gray/charcoal card stock.
The Scripture Art is free to use and you can grab it over at the Word Art Wednesday blog.
This week the verse is Hebrews 12:2 a perfect verse to get us ready for the Easter season. It also is a reminder that Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith will help us to endure this race of life if we keep our eyes focused on Him. Let's remember what He endured for us when He willing went to the cross and took our sins on Himself. He willing endured the shame, remembering the joy that would come from the suffering. What a blessed Savior we have!
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses (in chapter 11), let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 2:1-2
Thanks for visiting!
