I hope I won't get kicked out of the Mix-a-bility challenge today, it was only after I'd finished the whole card that I noticed Trudy said tear and paste "dp" for a bg - I tore, inked and pasted scraps of card stock, then added some stitching. Trudy will hopefully be very gracious with me! This SNSS set, designed by Dina Kowal, was also a present from her - thank you, my sweet friend! The torn, ripped edges remind me of affliction...which, when God pours in His grace, can be used to make something beautiful in character - I've seen it in the lives of many believers that I know.

Oh Bridget, this is so pretty - both the gorgeous colors on the flower and the soft, subtle layered bg. Very clever to stitch those scraps down. I like your comments about affliction and grace too. Lovely thoughts.

Bridget, I will only repeat what everyone else has said - this is just stunning! The BG you created is sp pretty (who would ever think that a bunch of ripped up paper could be gorgeous?). You colored Dina's beautiful stamp perfectly. An outstanding card!
