~Musical Embossing Folder and Emboss Resist Rose~

I created a different card using almost the same stamps and colors as my previous post.

Our Daily Bread Designs Something Musical

I added my musical embossing folder for this challenge.

You can barely see my emboss resist rose in the corner...the white cardstock was inked with Tim Holtz Spun Sugar and THEN dry embossed with the folder.

~Take Heart~

I like to stay positive...but there is no denying the pain and suffering that also floats around.

There IS trouble out there, isn't there?

I find this verse comforting because of it's truth~

The verse is from Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Series 3.

The border is from I Heart Papers,the rose from Papertrey and the leaves from Sweet 'n Sassy.

I used the beautiful colors from

~Case of the Mondays~

I'm amazed that a card was completed today....

CASE Study Challenge #110

Torico

inspired me to keep this card in neutral colors, just like her card.

This is the second time I die cut the Memory Box Jasmine frame die and chose the rustic innards instead of the detailed frame (which IS beautiful...I'll use it someday~).

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #117

 gave me a guideline on how to position the leftovers from the Ek Success Le Argyle punch....hmmm, I'm seeing a pattern here with leftovers.
