For those of you close to me you know that my Dad has been diagnosed with a form of carcinoma and the prognosis is not great. It has been devastating to us but we are trying to focus on the time we DO have and hoping he is as tough as we think and can beat or make it much longer than they think. I wanted to make a card to just lift up him and my mom since I feel like I can't be there as much as I want.

I wanted to use a scripture and looking through my scripture stamps I found Isaiah 41:10 which is perfect I think. 

I decided to make it the focus of the card which is perfect for the Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge.

I was going for simple but elegant. I embossed Fine Linen CS with a Damask CB folder. I stamped the scripture on the same cs in Ripe Avacado ink and cut it out with Nestablitites oval and layered it. Behind that I added a punched strip with some ribbon. A bit of bling and there you have it.

 Today's project is for Patter's ABC Scripture Challenge - this time's word is Bible. I wasn't sure what to do with this! I did just get a new bible for Christmas, as I continued thinking about it I thought The Bible for me is a way to grown in grace - to model your life after Jesus you have to read the Bible and know how he lived!

So I chose ODBD Grow in Grace Stamp set. I stamped the floral image and embossed it then colored it in with Copics and Adirondack Markers. I knew I wanted floral and purple because of this

a beautiful piece of wearable art from this week's Etsy Inspired Shop Nanny's Room. Isn't it lovely?!?!?

So with my stamp and colors and verse, I needed a layout!

Enter ODBD Sketch Challenge for this week! SWEET! and how appropriate?!?!?

I tweaked the sketch a little but you can still see all the elements!
 Here is a close up of the flower that I used my quickie glue pen and added some dazzling diamonds to!
Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful day!
