My card is for this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge: http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/
and is brought to us by Candace who has shared this fabulous scripture with us:
Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever."
Our challenge is to use flowers in our card or project! What a truth there is in this scripture, there is nothing that is constant in our lives but the Word of God, the world is everchanging and God is NEVER changing!! I am someone who resists change, I don't like it at all and find great security in this fact. I have known so much change in my life and love the security that comes from God and His Word! It set me to thinking about how unsettling it can be when change comes, as it is often associated with things like illness, loss of a job or a loved one, things that are beyond our control, at this point I have come to realise the best thing is NOT to fight it, but hand it to Him ....
Who doesn't love flowers - these gorgeous flowers are from Layers of Color, using the Flowering Gems art stamp set. I love the way they can be made to look aged or bright and bold. I have chalked them and added both glitter pen and Kindy Glitz to add that gorgeous sparkle. I have added the Martha Stewart Fence Punch along the top of the scripture and sponged it all with distressing ink!
This fabulous scripture is from that amazing RAK from my dear friend Sabrina (okimom2girlz) I have chosen it for this challenge as it is such a great reminder for me that when things do change, even if I am not 'good' with what is happening He will make it beautiful - whether that 'beauty' be in the natural or in my heart!
