The card I made does not have a friendship theme, however, I made it for a dear friend who needs some strength and encouragement right now. Friendship is more than just being there during the good times, but it's all about just simply "being there"! I have used the "Jesus" stamp set from Our Daily Bread designs, along with Memory Box "Butterfield" designer paper, and a wooden cross I picked up on vacation in Gatlinburg, TN this summer. I stamped the Jesus image onto vellum, colored Him with markers and adhered the vellum directly to the designer paper. Using a circle punch and mask, I sponged the "halo" around Him. I wanted the card to have a very "natural" feel, so used linen thread and a few chocolate colored brads. Jesus and His word are the stars here!!!
Thanks again to our sponsors and to Anne House for organizing what ended up being the largest blog hop I've ever seen.....isn't our God great?!
From here, you will be hopping to Cheryl Nyboer's blog. Enjoy the hop and have a blessed weekend!!
