Lifting You Up In Prayer

I recently went through a very scary time when I thought I was going to lose my mother.  She was rushed to the hospital because of a problem with her heart.  I live about 1,000 miles away from my family and so I spent several hours trying to decide if I should be hopping a plane or not.  My sister told me to wait and promised she would let me know if I needed to come so I waited and prayed.  She ended up needing a pacemaker and I was able to spend a few minutes talking to her before her surgery.  She is doing great now but I do plan a trip home soon.  I also have had many friends going through similar things and decided to make some more cards to have on hand for times like this.

This card features a variety of older stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The background uses one of their lacy background stamps, Crocheted Background, embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle’s Belgian Cream embossing powder on craft cardstock.  This is added to layers of dark brown and light blue.

The sentiment and frame is an older mini sentiments set, embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle’s Brown Fizz embossing powder.  I popped it up on a decorative die cut, cut from the light blue cardstock with Sue Wilson Designs' Beverly Hills die from her Californian Collection.  This was popped up on the card front.

I used ODBD’s Crocheted Border along the bottom.  I embossed it with Brown Fizz on the light blue cardstock and fussy cut it.  

I did the same with the butterfly from ODBD’s Butterfly Corner.

I really love the softness of this card.

Have a blessed Easter.
