I made this card for today's Looking Back WT. I included the following WTs: Love your Kraft, Doily Deluge, Fine Tune, and Flower Power.
This is a sneak peek at a new background stamp to be released by Our Daily Bread designs on Feb. 1 called "It is Well with my Soul". This old hymn has special meaning to me. After my sister died, the evening service at our church was taking special requests (something I miss BTW) and this was the hymn I wanted to sing. Knowing the background of this hymn makes it even more special. If you would like to read the story, it is on my blog here: http://th-ink-ingofyou.blogspot.com/...h-my-soul.html
Anyway... card details:
CS: Bazzill, SU!, unknown caligraphy stock
DP: MME Lost & Found Madison Ave
Accessories: Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish, Italian Flourish Doily, Lace (a gift from a sweet friend), Prima flowers, pearls from stash
I used a faux burned technique and heavily distressed the edges of the hymn.
Thanks for taking a look!

I love this hymn too. My Mother played the organ at church from the time she was 18 or 19 until she passed away at the early age of 59. I love how all your elements and especially like the distressing.
