This is for today's sketch challenge - thanks Jenna and Roxie, it's wonderful to work with. I turned the sketch on the side to suit this quote which is from the Bible - Jesus said this to a man whose worst fear was realized, just before Jesus intervened miraculously in the guy's dire situation! This will be going to someone going through rough times and I hope the words will encourage them as much as they do me! It was computer generated, cut with Nestabilities Rectangles and sponged while still in the die - I did a thin black frame behind it and then another Nesties rectangle frame in gold. The bg is embossed and I rubbed Ranger Distress Antique Linen across it afterwards. I added some gold cord, several gold mini brads and a large gold brad.
