Wednesday Stamper - Created by Hand

This card was made for Wednesday Stamper using watercolor paper, watercolor pencils, crayons and tube paints. Parts of the card were embossed with garnet EP. The brown is Moon Shadow's Mulberry Ink, which uses mica powders in walnut ink. The stamp is by See D's. In the sky is the theme for this week.

This reminds me of a hymn in our church hymnal:

For the Beauty of the Earth by Folliot S. Pierpoint, 1864

For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.


Edit: I note that this is ok for Created by Hand, too, so I'm entering it there as well.
