I had made some prayer cards for my Sunday school class members, but the ink smeared on some of them. Not being one to waste glossy cardstock I decided to dab on alcohol inks and blender fluid. I liked the effect even though the colors didn't turn out very celebratory.
We have so much to celebrate. Especially life itself. The dragonfly in my card represents freedom. The flower represents beauty, which is all around us.
Truthfully, I'm not in a mood for celebrating. On Thursday I lost another of my buddies from my adult Sunday school class. That's 2 in 2 months. However, we will celebrate Robert's life tomorrow at the memorial service and be happy that we were fortunate to have known him.
The text underneath the alcohol inks is from Isaiah 43, my favorite (at this time) chapter in the Old Textament
Wonderful background, love your dragonfly image.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Faye! This is a wonderful project, pretty and elegant, it's gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss Faye, but am sure your faith will give you much comfort.
ReplyDeleteI love your tag especially the beautiful layering of muted colours and stamping. Of course I had to enlarge it to fully appreciate it and am so glad I did.

I really love the background Faye...sometimes our happy accidents turn out to be our best stuff. This is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThe colours in this piece are very subtle and attractive. At first glance I thought you had stamped directly onto slate. Sorry to hear about your pupil - just shows that we must celebrate and enjoy each day that we have.
