Color Dare 89
Cherry Cobbler
Old Olive
Soft Suede
Loved this colour combination. A wonderful mix of saturated colours that look fabulous together and lend themselves perfectly to a Christmas card. This one is going to our fabulous Children's Pastor at our church. The teaching they receive for her is amazing and her love for kids overflows into all she does for them. Love her to bits and am so fortunate and thankful to be able to work under her as I teach the Grade 5/6 Sunday School class.
I paired this week's colours with Mercy's sketch from a few weeks back. I seem to be behind on sketches lately...just too many things to try to fit in a day right now!
I decided to use Richly Blessed as I love the fact Julee included a cross in this set - thank you Julee! The verse in Isaiah with the over stamped cross so fabulously depicts the fulfillment of the prophecy from long ago and the ultimate reason for Christ's birth. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I kept things pretty simple as time is of the essence right now, but happy with the outcome none-the-less.

What a beautiful card! I just love the effect of a subtle stamp and a sentiment stamped over it. The perfect card for a person who so richly blesses your life and your child's. Those that care so much aren't easy to find! Unless you have the internet....and I found you!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderfully happy, blessed New Year and I look forward to a long and humorous friendship!
