Hope And Future…

Posted by Jen | Verve, cards | Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Happy FREEZING cold morning! We are currently prisoners in our own house because of the ice all over our driveway, but hope that will all clear up by mid-day. That’s the beauty {and curse} of living in North Texas…if you don’t like the weather, just wait 10 minutes. My hope for the future is sunshine and melting ice!

Today, I have a card using Verve Stamps’ new plain Jane, Jeremiah 29:11. While I do not think that I am a religious person, I really do like these Plain Janes and do like stamping with them. Julie has chosen some beautiful scripture to put into stamps. HERE is a link to all the Plain Janes that Verve currently offers.

The pattern paper is from American Crafts and I just love the colors that it incorporates: aqua, olive and cream. The black that I added to my card just sets off those colors. This is one combo that I will be using again! To mimic the pattern in the paper, I embossed the Cool Caribbean panel with the Texture embossing folder for Cuttlebug. The flowers are from a large packages of flowers from K & Co. that also match some stickers that I picked up {not used here}. The pearls in the centers of the flowers came with the flowers, but I added the small pearls on the circle punches. Finally, what do you think of the layout? I’m thinking that it may have to be a sketch in the future!

Hope you all are having a bright and sunny day!

    What a pretty design. I would not have thought to combine olive and aqua. You have done so very nicely!

    Very pretty card. I don’t consider myself a religious person either but I am loving some of the verses. Thanks for the enabling :)

    I’ll trade weather with you today - it’s snowing like crazy here today. We’re forecast for 12-18 inches on top of the 30 inches or so we already have! Spring can’t come soon enough!
