This card was created for the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge and Thursday's Way to Use it challenge- Butterflies. I was thrilled to use ODBD's new set “Faith” to match last weeks ODBD challenge creation.
Using the butterflies from “Faith” I did a background in Creamy Caramel, and gold embossed the scripture from this set. I love this verse because it is full of hope, and the butterflies signify new beginnings. To compliment the soft colors used, I chalked the image from “for the Graduate” for my gift frame, and added blooms and punched butterflies. The gift frame is posted separately if you would like to see a close up.
This week's Challenge:
To use wings on your creation.
