Woodblock Wednesday Encouragement

 

I'm finally getting a Woodblock Wednesday card done in time!

I always have good intentions, but this time it panned out. ;)

"Gathering Basket" River City Rubber Works, 4121-J River city Rubber Works, Inkadinkado Galeris Vernissage Leaf, Kuretake Watercolors 

This beautiful basket stamp was acquired recently (how could I resist the shading and shape?!) .

The leaves were a happy accident, in that I didn't think of the fussy cut, watercolored leaves, to dry curled up like a real leaf would. 

When they were dry, and I gathered them up, they sounded much the same as raked leaves!

As for the beautiful sentiment, 

I had originally bought this(many years ago).

 I felt a prompting in my Spirit, to use it to create a card for my friend fighting cancer at the time. 

I haven't seen her IN YEARS (since we moved to different churches and had many life changes), but God allowed me to run into her months ago.

She said this sentiment is one she shares with EVERYONE still (though she isn't sick now).

She literally quotes it so often, and when she does, she thinks of me.

I had to dig it back up and put it to use again; it had such a powerful impact (and I had stashed it away with all my lovely woodblock stamps).

Thank you for your sweet visit~
