This week's ODBD challenge was to use Red, White and Blue on a card. I tried to make mine not so much like 4th of July, but was unsucessful.
I love this scripture, and I had to use roses since I learned to make them on Gingerbeary's blog - they are sooooo easy (thanks so much Bearzi) - here is the link:

Nancy, your flowers turned out beautifully. I have made them using the SU Fancy Flower punch. You are making me want to make more dimensional flowers. Hope you are having a great weekend. Your friend, nancy

Nancy, this is gorgeous! That is one of my dil's favorite verse. What an awesome creation. Love the flowers and that wonderful ribbon. Yep, it is red and white. I don't know what caused me to make that blue and orange card for your Queendom. Ha
Your flowers are sooooo pretty. Back later to check your other cards.

How beautiful!! Nancy, your bow is perfectly tied AND draped. Mine *never* turn out that way. Great roses--they look amazing on this lovely card.

Yeah! You made it Sistah! These colors were difficult for me as well, but your r/w/b card is gorgeous! I would love to see Bearzi's bloom instructions. The scripture you chose brings such peace with it. Your ribbon treatment and the torn edge are just beautiful! LYMI, hugz.....

Love that scripture too...it is how I try to live my life in the acceptance of God's plan for me This does look like a little slice of Americana with that banner-like bow and the great DP. Love those roses (thanks for the link). Delightful card.
