Count Me In….on the Divine Design Challenge
Posted by Becca Feeken on Tuesday, March 11th, 2008
Oh, I have so wanted to do this and now I’m gonna. Several bloggers have made a commitment to offer a card on the 8th of each month that includes a scripture that has special meaning to them. You can read more about the challenge on Lori Craig’s blog here. She lists all of the Scripture Chicks and their blogs; their cards are amazing and the stories of their inspiration give glory to God. I’m so delighted to have a card to share today, and I know that this project over the course of the year will move me closer to spiritual goals that I have. I’m starting a little bit late, so I’m behind, but I try to make up both the January and the February cards.
I’ve had this stamp in my stash for some time and I always smile when I think of this verse. When I pulled the verse out, I immediately thought of the French Flair background stamp that I had yet to use. The card is very simple, with a gray base card popped up on a dark gray panel and topped with design paper onto which I stamped the French Flair background stamp, in a second generation of Stazon Stone Gray. The verse is popped up on a dark gray panel topped with a light gray panel with the verse. I tied a wide satin gray Offray ribbon in a bow positioned to the right and lastly added the antique brass brads, previously hoarded but quite at home here - I was saving them for a special occasion! Some time this week I’ll be sure to upload this to Splitcoaststampers to gallery where you can see the other cards. The SCS Gallery for Bible Verse Challenge - BVC08 can be seen here.
Supplies:
Stamps: Stampendous, SU - French Flair; Paper - Bazzill, Die Cuts With A View - Wedding; Ink - Stazon Stone Gray; Ribbon - Offray Gray; Antique Gold Brads - K & Co.

So many times I think cards are such a waste of time because they never will be used or they don’t really say what I want to say. This is awesome - and what an awesome and inspring site. Already added Lori’s blog to my new blog file.
You can never go wrong with God’s words.
