I love to mix it up. This week the Twisted Sisters challenge, issued by Lesley (Marleygo) was to make a card using a border punch, an embossing folder and some sort of metal. The little heart charm and paper roses are from my sweet ODBD Sister, Sabrina. (Hugs..)
And in searching for a way to use this challenge, I came across this beauty in Karen's gallery, our Queen for the Day! Karen, I cruised our gallery for two hours! It's so hard to choose, and I love your varied designs and how you can use any technique! This card just touched me, and I loved the chicken wire background and how softly your leaves played into it's pattern. Congrats Queen, you surely deserve this honor!
The main image is from ODBD's Porch Set, and the inside sentiment is also from this set and reads "Times of refreshing will come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19. This is a sympathy card for a co-worker who lost her dad this week, and I thought these words would bring comfort.
Thanks for looking!

Mimi Pat, I know this card will bring comfort to your co-worker and family. How sad to loose a parent but how blessed to have friends like you around to soften the hurt. This is beautiful Sistah!

Ah, horticulture...
This is very pretty. I like the green and purple combo and I can imagine these flowers in my aunts beautiful garden form her gorgeous porch on the farm.
