What beautiful shading and what a cool layout. I even tried to do the panels different sizes just like she did (actually, I can never get things the right size so it worked out well for me). Holly is a very talented artist, and I love so many cards in her gallery.
Another great card-artist is Lee-Anne. I saw this really special card she did the other day:
Lots of casing in this card - wish I could take credit for the cool ideas that went into it, but alas I cannot.
I also made this card for the ODBDSLC81 challenge which is to use geometric shapes. I used a circle (my moon and the centers of my flowers), retangles (lots of those), and triangles (my photo corners and the shape of the trees).

Gorgeous Nancy ! Beautiful trees and sky backgrounds framing your wonderful sentiment. Love how you extended the piece behind the panels and added the blue flowers. A really creative and stunning card. TFS

This is beautiful Nancy!! I love the way you broke this into three panels. The blue is most gorgeous. That is one of the first scripture verses I memorized.

Sister, you have been casin' maniac today- and I love that! How beautifully put together, and so honoring to Holly. I love the Scripture you used, and also smiled to see you join the Shining the Light Challenge. Your sponged bg is divine, and the depth of your trees makes me feel as if I am close to God in a gorgeous forest. I love your work Nancy, it has a "feel". That is beautiful! LYMIMIMIMIMI

Wow Nancy this is gorgeous. I love the color of blue you used for the bg and the depth of the bg. Then the lovely trees. I like that you used different stamps of the same kind of trees. That's how it looks in nature. Of course that scripture is the star of the show and you showcased it in a most beautiful way! I like everything about your card. A most wonderful tribute to Holly.
