Be Joyful

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are verses I memorized years ago and they are written on my heart. There are times when I still need to remember not to be anxious, but I eventually listen to my heart saying these verses. I didn't really understand what the "peace of God" was until I experienced it. It's having peace inside you, even when you're going through heartbreaking situations and trials. It does "surpass ALL understanding" and you know it comes from GOD alone. Praise the Lord for His wonderful promises!


I love, love, love what I do. I am passionate about the things I create and the talents God has placed in me. I SO appreciate the time you take to look at my things and the comments you all leave me!

Blessings to you!

Elegant Fuchsia Oval - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a cream on cream card to share with you using the Cascading Fuchsia Collection of stamps and dies.




I love the look of the Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel on Natural White card stock when coloring with chalk inks. Such a soft and elegant look to it. Here's a little close-up of the fuchsias.




I used all Natural White card stock for everything except the pink/lavender mat in the background which is from the designer papers in the Cascading Fuchsia Collection.

To make the  fuchsia flowers, I used Emma Lou's video tutorial that you can see here.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beauties by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #185 - Anything Goes
Addicted To Stamps and More #146 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

  11. Hi Kathy! I am in awe of this gorgeous card. I'm so glad you took a close up of the flowers - they are stunning, and I need to go check out the tutorial as well. I could NEVER do anything this amazing, and you never cease to amaze and impress me. When I say "I'm in awe"....I truly mean it! I also LOVE the incredible bow you made with all the loops of baker's twine (at least that's what I think it is). It's absolutely stunning. You obviously put A LOT into this card, and it shows. Truly beautiful! I can never thank you enough for sharing your amazing art with us, and I want you to know how VERY much I appreciate it. Have a blessed week!
