This is my card for this weeks Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge: http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/
This week our lovely Design Team Sister Miesje has given us the scripture:
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Miesje has challenged us to make a card that symbolizes what brings you rest or peace. It could be flowers, an ocean, music, mountains, sitting with a friend, or just reading a book....oh there are so many possibilities!! For me, there is nothing more than the sound of birds outside the window to make me feel peaceful! I have always been in a household that loved birds....as children we had an aviary filled with budgies and canaries - the air was always full of their beautiful songs and now my own family is surrounded by birds...whether it be budgies/parakeets, chickens, cockatiels and wild birds - I am so grateful that God made them for our pleasure - they sure make my day!!
It goes without saying that I would use the Layers of Color Backyard Birds Clear Art Stamps. I love this little sparrow - he fitted so well with this verse
I nestled him in with this adorable flower that has been handmade by one of my dear friends and sistah's Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz). I arrived home from being away at my DH;s Grandmother's funeral to find a surprise parcel waiting for me - from Sabrina. It was like Christmas and everything in it is special, including some of these handmade flowers by Sabrina, including the Diecut Leaves and some scripture stamps.....and many more things you will see here over the next weeks! Thank you Sabrina - you are so very generous and know how to spoil someone!! I {{{heart}}} you my friend!
I used the images from the Layers of Color Touch of Elegance Clear Stamp set for corner and added a small Kaiser pearl. Paper piercing finished off my eclectic framing of this comforting scripture!!
