I was sitting and thinking recently about some of the new things that just arrived in my mailbox from Just Rite. In the box was the new rectangular stamper -- you know-- the one where you can make your own sayings? I know I will use this a TON! So, what to put on my stamper? That's when a Bible verse came to me:
"Blessed are the peacemakers. They shall be called the children of God."
-Matthew 5:9
When you think of peace - what image comes to mind? A dove right? Well, what if I spelled this verse out and used some of the new bird images from Flourishes? HHhhhhhm. I might just have something there!
I did have to shorten the saying a bit so that it would all fit. This is the Brayton font on one of the Just Rite rectangular stampers. It is a font that is naturally a bit "off" so stamping this was a breeze. These stampers are a dream. It makes you wonder, why didn't someone come up with a way for us to devise our own sentiments sooner??
To finish off the card, I stamped the bird from the Birds And Vine set with Versamark ink and embossed it with white. After matting it up,adding a sheer ribbon, some self stick pearls and a little punched leaf -- you're pretty much done!

This is so pretty, Julie! I'd never guessed you pieced this sentiment together yourself. It looks like one of those quote cards you can purchase. The dove is a beautiful touch!
