Here is my take on the challenge this week, an easel card!

Here's another view so you can see the inside when it's opened.

A close up of the image. 

 The inside close up.

I haven't done one of these in a long time, it's almost like making 2 cards the way I decorated the inside! These are fun to do though and they really come out special.

This beautiful image of the watering can and flowers, is from the Happy Birthday Set from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits. (Wow, how I LOVE to color!)  This is the first time I've used set,  I had it in my head that I wanted to do a card with purples and yellow...nice and spring-like and I thought this set would be perfect!  The white lace and trim on the inside are from my RAK package I received from Sabrina :-D.  I LOVE yellow and white together!

I'm submitting this to the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #16 "Frame-It", to use a frame somewhere on your design.

I'm also entering this in the latest Stampin' Sister's in Christ Challenge #127.  This week the challenge is to use flowers on your card/project.  The Bible Verse is 2 Cor. 2:16b.

Scripture:

2 Cor 2:16b . . ."to the other the fragrance of life."

In reading this verse and the words from Peggysue on the challenge post, it reminds me of all God has blessed me with.  I hope my blog in some way reflects God's Love and shows others the wonderful Peace and Joy He can bring to them no matter what their circumstances are.  I have had many trials, and God has ALWAYS been faithful to me and has brought me through them becoming stronger and more able to help others. 

I love the LORD!

Blessing!
