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

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.

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
