I hope y'all are staying cool. It's been so unusually hot in some unusual places. Here in Hotlanta it's been in the mid 90's the last couple of days which is even a tad warmer than usual.
All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I started by stamping the verse repeatedly first with the soft sand ink and then with the sahara sand ink. I punched one side of the horizontal strip, embossed it with a border folder, then punched the other side. The circle panel was cut with a Spellbinder circle then the wheat was stamped with white chalk ink. I spritzed it with a gold glimmer spritz. IRL it's very sparkly but it just looks like whitish dots here. I used a SAMJ to position just the Bread of Life part of the verse and gold embossed it.
Two more white on black wheat images and one black on tan image were cut out and used for the lower circle element of the sketch. A gold leafing pen was used to add a gold edge to most of the panels. Finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5 (A2).
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Absolutely fabulous, Amy!!! Love the border punches you used and the use of the sketch is fabulous as well! The wheat images are beautiful and I love the bunches you placed at the bottom. You knocked this one out of the park!!!
We're cooking out here on the West Coast!!! It's been in the low 90s for three days now and we are NOT used to these temps at all. That being said, since we don't get them often either, we don't have any air conditioning so we have been hot and stick and not so happy for a few days :(
