The Flowers appear on the Earth;..........

the season of Singing has Come. Song of Solomon 2:12


This is the scripture I chose for this weeks Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge 13!! Hmm....you might wonder, what are they doing this week? Well, this week the challenge team is challenging you to create a April showers bring May flowers card or gift.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, May 20, 2010. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them.

As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award. In order to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by May 20, 2010, at 8 p.m. EST.

When I read about this challenge I knew right away which stamp set I was going to use. ;D Back for the Easter release, Kelley brought this wonderful stamp set to the table which is called "The Lord has Risen" . This awesome set has been getting lots of use from me. I love this scripture as it is just one more confirmation on what GOD is able to do. Just take a look around and admire all of the trees, the flowers, the sun and the sky...I don't know about you, but I think that this is just amazing!!! Thank you GOD for doing this and making this place a better and more beautiful place. I know without all of this beauty we would be living in a pretty boring place ;D. So with this said, I used the scripture and one of my handmade flowers, some gorgeous Basic Grey paper and that is basically it.....this card was born, LOL!



Have a look

Recipe:
Paper: PTI White, Basic Grey Porcelain, green cs from my stash

Stamps: ODBD The Lord has Risen

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, ODBD Olive

Accessories: Nesties Labels 4 + 11, Cricut Expression and the Storybook cartridge for the leaf corner and Accent Essentials for the flower, white satin ribbon, Recollections half silver pearls

So, what do you think?

Hi Sabrina~

It is Sunday now, and I hope your day at church was as wonderful a blessing for you, as you were for all of the people there. You are really someone wonderful!

Your card is BEAUTIFUL! I Love how the verse looks on that elegant background paper, and those silver pearls...just helps give His word the elegance which the verse deserves! I love the wide white bow...it always reminds me of Purity and Truth. (Which reminds me of how Pure His Word is...no taking parts and pieces and coming up with our own answers!)

Sabrina, your work always gets me going on and on...It makes me want to talk about the Lord forever. I wish there was a way for us to talk. We'd be so excited for Him!

Lastly, that flower is flawless. Absolutely Wonderful!

He IS Able,
Traci S.

Our power keeps going out, I hope this makes it to you.
