Kelly made it a simple challenge this month for our Crafters of Faith blog challenge, to pick a favorite scripture. Since October will soon arrive and it is Breast Cancer awareness month, I think Jeremiah 29:11 offers much hope to us all no matter what circumstances we find ourselves. I used a little embossing on the edges with a Darcie border folder and repeated it to make it a double pattern. I added pearls in between the scallops, added a diecut vine from design paper and some beautiful hand made paper roses, that were a special birthday surprise from my cyber friend, Marilynn McGroot. How talented she is! I mounted this onto a soft pink card base. I plan to take part in the Hope You Can Cling To challenges over on SplitcoastStampers that happen daily during October and hopefully will have at least 30 cards or more to mail to MD Anderson. The cards for those challenges restrict us from using religious or scriptural items on them, so I was so happy to get to do one with a scripture of hope on it. I will be sending it to a very special friend.

WOW! This card is stunning! Love the stamp you used and the soft colors!
This is so gorgeous, Liz! Just the message of hope most at MDA would treasure! I know that your friend will!!
Liz--your card is stunning! I love that sentiment and the colors are perfect!
Lovely card, Liz! Such a wonderful word to have a focal point :) I'm actually listening to christian radio talk show as I blog hop and the speaker is talking about having hope and going on 'in spite of' and learning to forgive - AMEN to that! :)
Blessings, COF sister! x0x0
Liz, this is a perfect card! I love the sweet and pretty details. The paper flowers, how you placed them to feature the sentiment....great job!
What a perfect card to convey a message of strength and hope! The detailing of pearls, scalloped borders, the pretty roses, all of it combine into a masterpiece!
A very special card that will be treasured I'm sure!
You are a blessing to all of us at COF.
Peace!
This card is precious! Love the lacy scallops and pearls, but those quilled paper flowers are the sweetest touch! Blessings, COF friend!
Liz, how absolutely stunning! I love your embossing, the beautiful flowers paired with that wonderful verse.
Hugs,

I love how the roses look on your card. I am glad that it is going to a special friend. I was kinda sad about the restriction of no scriptures. I hope that those who get your cards will already know the HOPE and be encouraged by your caring.
