This card is made for the His Holy Name Challenge and the Devine Design Bible Verses Challenge....I just love combing this love of mine with the scripture verses...another love my mine...in the HHN challenges we are studying the attributes of God...this one is Almighty....
I have chosen this scripture as it speaks of God being Almighty from the beginning to the end - what a relief that is to me...in this day and age everything has a 'use by date' but not God....He is there until the end...as is nothing else, or no one else that can assure and promise us this....but our God!!! Making this card with this scripture just reminded me and reassured me....I need to do this more often....I sure won't find that assurance on the TV or in the shopping centre...LOL!!!
I have tried to make this card with strong colours and texture, in keeping with the AlMIGHTY attribute of God...I used this great DP that Hannah(aka bubblefrog) gave me last week. The key is an old one I found in a button jar that DH got at a Garage Sale (Yard Sale) years ago. The ticket is distressed and I wrote the scripture on by hand, which never thrills me as I feel it lets the card down, but I know many of you feel differently, so I let myself be influenced by your opinions....
I also wanted ALMIGHTY to be highlighted so added the hand stamp, 3Ding that and the compass....the final touch is the eyelets.....so there you have it.....!!!
Thank you for looking, I am always encouraged by your comments!

OH! MY! GOODNESS!!! I love this card. Your choice of the measuring tapes in the background is so perfect... Beginning and End! Also love the antique look you gave to everything.

This is just perfect. The background paper is perfect for your verse and you have given the entire page timelessness which is also perfect for your verse. Wonderful creation. I love looking at your art work. Thanks for sharing!
I love your handwriting on this card. I am never happy with my own handwriting on cards and prefer to use stamps or the computer but the way you used a variety of fonts with capital letters and cursive letters mixed in really looks GREAT!! I will be using this idea on my own creations!! Thanks for that idea and I look forward to seeing your creations!
