Your beautiful card showcases the sentiment that gave me strength to endure a bad bought of a very painful genetic medical condition I have. It was printed in our church bulletin that my hubby brought home because I was home bound. Your card brings tears (of joy) to my eyes remembering God's strenght he provided through this sentiment.

E. Marie said...

That background paper is awesome and my first thought was you had created a mosaic background to enhance your beautiful art work. The knotted rope is the perfect touch.

Traci S. said...

Wow! Dawn, I thought that you put tile on those small colored areas at the top of the paper! I wouldn't put it past you! But, the time involved...I'm glad it is paper. I LOVE this quote. It is fabulous! Your coloring is...of course fantastic and incredible! I think the use of twine or rope is perfect.

He IS Able,
Traci S.

What a pretty background, like a mosaic. And I like your placement of the sentiment. I was creating a card earlier this evening that was giving me fits, I wish I'd come here before I'd finished, I would have known where to put the sentiment on mine. :)
