Here is my sample for the challenge this week!

I used the Flower Border Stamp (ODBD) for the frame and fussy cut a couple of pieces for the inside of the frame and popped them a little with pop dots.  The Verse, Psalm 43:3, is from a brand new March release set from Our Daily Bread Designs called "The Light of Life".   Beautiful fonts on this, and I like how 2 different ones are used together.   I wanted to do a "cream on cream" card with 1 dramatic color.   I love how the flowers stand out with the Island Indigo SU paper behind the cream and the seam binding and flower on top.

For ingredients used:

Stamps: Flower Border, and The Light of Life (Our Daily Bread Designs)

Paper: Natural White (Neenah), Island Indigo (SU)

Ink: Black Onyx (Versafine)
