I absolutely love this quote by Mother Theresa. Such a powerful reality to it and a great reminder to not just think nice things about people but to actually tell them so it can echo in there heart for days to come.
Got a few more bits of my Costco DP pack used up on this card - yeah! Went with an oval instead of a circle, added a layered prima and some black, sheer ribbon and I was good to go.
Why not join me in making a conscious effort to bless someone today by sharing some kind words with them. Not only will it bless them, but those of us who speak them :)

Marisa, this is beautiful! I wanted to flip that sketch too...hehe! LOVE that sentiment, think it may be my fave from Verve!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Marisa! Love that gorgeous, striped designer paper.
ReplyDeleteFabulous sentiment and one to act on.
Oh the colors on this are so pretty~ great job with the sketch~
ReplyDeleteOk, so let me get this straight...I bless you with no skewed panels so in return my sketch must be tweaked 90°? And the oval? I'm beginning to think that you're getting a bit too sketch fickle, my dear. Of course, I'm just teasing you, I know I can do that! Well, adjusting the sketch or not, this is a real gem! That sentiment is absolutely beautiful and the colors are like a spring dream! Awesome work sunshine!!
ReplyDeleteI have a kind word for you Marisa!! Your cards are second to none, in my honest opinion! xxx

ReplyDeleteExcellent use of the sketch!! Purples and greens... WOW ... purples "almost" make me stop breathing!! Did I see that WE will be making beautious flowers and leaves shortly?? Yes ma'am!!
ReplyDeletehow true...I loved Mother Teresa too...what a lot of power and love in a teensy tiny woman!! Love those bright pops of colour :) Well, we had snow, sun, and hail today!! LOL And it was cold out on duty today, although the sunshine was nice :) Apparently we are skipping over spring and heading right to summer, eventually!!
ReplyDeleteIT seems like kind words are not spoken often enough anymore. It is sad. This is so pretty. I love the colors and that layout. Great card Marisa and great idea..
