Gold and Blush Card For Word Art Wednesday #288-289

Hi, everyone!

So, I'm suffering from what I think is writer's block today.  I literally sat staring at the screen for a good ten minutes trying to think of something to write, anything.... sadly, nothing!  So, I'll just hop right into sharing my card design for Word Art Wednesday. 

I used paper from My Minds Eye C'est Chic collection.  It looks like more of a blush color in person.  

I printed the verse onto vellum and cut it the exact size as the stripe on my base paper. The vellum strip is wrapped around the base paper then adhered on the backside with Scotch tape. I tore some strips of arrow paper, also from the same paper line and machine stitched it to the base paper.  I then gold embossed some little wooden hearts from The Paper Studio and adhered them to my card.  That's it!  Vellum can be a little tricky to work with.  I'm still fairly new at creating with it and I hope to learn more techniques.  It can be so pretty.

I just love the way the gold shines on this paper too... 

I invite you to come join us at Word Art Wednesday and show us what you've got!  The word art is always free to use, but not required to play.  

As always, thank you so much for stopping by today.

Blessings, 

Nautical Card for Word Art Wednesday

Welcome back!  It's officially my first week of summer break and what better way to start it off then with a new Word Art Wednesday card.  Woohoo!  I just love summer,  the early mornings and late nights.  The birds, the flowers,  the free time to enjoy God's creation.    I'm truly a summertime girl at heart.  I must be excited about this time of year as my card creation reflects where my favorite place to be is.  Can you guess? 

If you guessed the beach, then you would be right. 😊

But even with all that I love about summer and all there is to enjoy and be thankful for, I'm still left with a longing that nothing on this earth can satisfy.   An emptiness only Christ Himself can fill.  I'm reminded of a quote from the late C.S. Lewis. 

 "I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."

We were made to "worship and enjoy God forever".   Praise God that He has promised to fill us up with what truly satisfies, HIMSELF.  

The base paper for my card is from Hobby Lobby's brand of paper products called "The Paper Studio".  It's from their "mint to be fab" line. 

Then I added stickers from my stash.  I kept it pretty simple this week.
