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

This is so beautiful Bridget! From the mix of dp to the awesome die cut swirls to the pretty flowers, not to mention the stitching! Great card and thanks for the reminder about the Scripture challenge...I was just assigned 3 verses to memorize for a Bible study and I'm going to try to separate them into 3 cards for the challenge!

So beautiful, Bridget! I started singing a song with these words sung by FFH called Be My Glory. Wonderfully created flowers with those sweet pearls and perfect flourish placement. Your dp is so soft and pretty~
