Happy New Year - WAW Challenge

Happy New Year to my Delightful Friends!
I'm praying that this year will be filled with a deeper desire to seek the Lord Jesus, knowing that He is coming back soon!  I'm so grateful that no matter what this year brings, I can trust Him and I just need to keep my eyes on Jesus.  That's my prayer for the followers and visitors to this blog as well.

So, here we are starting off the year with our Word Art Wednesday challenge (Anything Goes - Family Friendly), and our sponsor is WAFFLE FLOWER, be sure and visit the blog and get inspired. Please play along and upload your new creations to share, the challenge runs two weeks so you can upload 5 new creations each week for a chance to win the prize.

I made a couple of thank you cards, and I'd like to thank you for visiting and participating in the WAW Christmas Blog Hop.  As you know, I have 2 prizes to give away! (see last post) The winners will be announced soon!

Here are my cards for this week's challenge:
 (I didn't use the Scripture Art this week, but it could be used for the inside of any of these cards.




Scripture Art for this week:

This is a wonderful Scripture from Psalm 16:11 that the apostle Peter is quoting.  My husband is a pastor, and he uses it frequently during memorial services for believers.
In the New King James Version it reads like this:
"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy;"  
I think I like that version better than the KJV.



Each card I have used the same background stamp but used in 3 different ways.
The glittery gold was embossed with gold embossing powder, then cut out using a die, the sentiment is foiled using the Minc Laminator (The items I've used will be at the end of this post).
The blue thank you card, the background stamp was embossed with clear embossing powder, then I blended 4 different colors of ink (blues), then wiped with a clean paper towel so the embossing would be a bit brighter.
The third card, "Cheers" I've used ink (light yellow) and then stamped the word CHEERS, in a darker yellow, I then stamped with black in on a white strip of card stock and cut out a "fishtail" on one end.
