This is for today's sketch challenge and my Februaray entry for the Bible Verse Challenge...these dp's are October Afternoon's Farmhouse series and they remind me of an old quilt so I had to do some stitching. I added a small posy of flowers for the circular element of the sketch and used one edge of Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares as a border for the middle strip.
I've had the Martha Stewart hydrangea punches for a long time but just recently got the rounded end tool for curling the petals which helps add dimension.
It's not too late to join us for the Bible Verse Challenge which is about making one card or project per month with a Bible verse to help in memorizing! Here are the details: Bible Verse Challenge 2012

I really love what you've done with the sketch, Bridget. The MFT dies are so beautiful and the stitching and sponging and sentiment are wonderful as well.

What a gorgeous card Bridget!! I love the papers and patterns. I like how you put the verse on the spellbinder and sponged it. Every detail makes this a real winner.

Well, this caught my eye immediately and instantly into my FAVES it went. This is gorgeous, from your choice of DP's, to the wonderful Bible verse. Just gorgeous! Thanks for the reminder of the Bible verse challenge. I need to start getting more involved with that - as I have many verses I absolutely love and it is such a great way to spread God's Word! Again, gorgeous card. TFS.
