I changed the colors, but left the layout. I kept the card simple, but I did add a few flowers because Paula's card has a flower. I chose to use a poem as the focal image on my card. It is one of my favorite poems. I used Our Daily Bread Designs stamp set "Footprints in the Sand." I used a piece of printed dp for the background. My dp allow me to add another color instead of keeping the card monochromatic like Paula did hers. I kept my card elements as simple as possible in keeping with the elegant simplicity of Paula's. I sponged the edges of the poem with Ranger antique linen because Paula's card appears to use a technique on the flower so I added some sponging to mine. What do you think?

I love this story. It is one we share on Kairos weekends (a prison ministy) that I am involved with. I will be a part of a team on Jan. 1-4 and hope all of you will keep us in your prayers. This is so lovely as is the story it shares.
