Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog - Holy Holy Holy

Hello Delightful Friends,

Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge (weeks 527-528) is starting and last for 2 weeks!  Don't forget to play along and leave some love along the way by sharing a kind word!

I was waiting for the winner of the blog hop to get back to me before posting my winner.

Congratulations to Heather Mills from Rhode Island, your prize package is on it's way!!

Today our Sponsor is the STAMPS OF LIFE ($25).  So, you really need to play along with us, don't forget you can share up to  5 new creations per week to be eligible for the prize so head over to Word Art Wednesday!   Stamps of Life have some adorable stamps, dies, videos and tutorials!!

Here is my card and the Scripture art for this challenge (the Scripture art is optional but we love it if you would use it)

Card ingredients:

Base: white 100lb card stock; behind the front panel is a A2 cut pink card stock (Bazzill)

The front panel (cherry pop card stock) was die cut with Stitched with Love cutting plate (Taylored Expressions) 

Scripture heart was cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Heart Die.

Since Valentines Day is right around the corner, I wanted to try out the cutting plate and it cuts like a dream, plus you get all those cute little hearts.  I've got mine in a little container for future use.

I kept my card simple and also flat for mailing.  This style is great if you need a bunch, just change out the sentiments and color of card stock, even the size of the heart can be changed. I made another with pink and toffee card stock that is super sweet.

Thanks for visiting and I pray you will stay close to Jesus, we know it won't be long, when we will see Him face to face!
