I made this card for today's SC470...Woohoo..I got it done in the wee hours of the a.m!
I also combined the sketch with this week's ODBDSLC185 challenge which was to use the recipe 2-0-1-4. I used 2 designer papers or flowers, no dry embossing, 1 bow, and 4 pearls.
Unfortunately I have a lot of friends losing loved ones and/or going through trials in their life. This is for one of them.
The foliage was created with the Fancy Foliage dies from ODBD.
I wanted a rectangular shaped card but did not have the grand scalloped so I cut my top twice with the Grand Scalloped Squares. The burlap and gold netting were recycled from gifts I received at Christmas.
Thanks for Looking!!

Oh, Chris, this is gorgeous! I love the rich shade of yellow/gold, and your elements are so beautifully combined to make a stunning card! I just love how you pulled all this together in the "wee hours" of the morning! It's truly an inspiration from the Lord! And it's sure to give joy to the one who receives it!

This card is so intricate and has so much to look at! What a beautiful way to let someone know you are praying for them, Chris! It's amazing the gorgeous work you got accomplished in the wee hours of the a.m.! : ) I'd be yawning too much~ Beautiful gold and piercing around the edges, and your dp's are so lovely~

Absolutely spectacular card, Chris. Love the shades of gold and yellow.
