I made this as a sympathy card for our preacher. His mother just passed away on Thanksgiving. This is the first time I ever used the book ef, and was a little intimidated by it. When I started out I didn't really like how it looked, but I started it, so I decided I would finish and just see how it came out. I was going to stamp a rose, color, and fussy cut, but I think I'm glad I did the die cut rose instead. The "Holy Bible" is cut from Lyrical letters cricut cartridge. I also used the fork method to make a nice fluffy bow. I really like how my card turned out , although I think it would have been better if I had scored the leaves.
Thanks for looking!

Wow and wow, what a beautiful thoughtful card. Love the worn look of the bible. The red rose, and gold bow, are the perfect additions to this beautiful card. Your kind thoughtful effort, will truly be appreciated by your preacher and his family. tfs.

This is a lovely card, just beautiful and a wonderful tribute for your preacher's mother. I'm sure he appreciated it. The rose and buds are beautiful, too.
