...to give you a future filled with hope

Something new from me today!

This card is constructed very differently than most

the cards I make, and it is much heavier,

because of the multiple layers

of cardstock used to build it.

I found a tutorial online done by "Tracy loves to scrap"

HERE, so if you want to make one

you can follow her instructions, as I did.

(She makes wonderful tutorials!!)

The above blog directed me to another blog with

some of the most beautiful cards I have EVER seen.
Marianne is from Norway and here's a link:  Marianne's Papirverden

I could definitely spend hours gazing at all her stunning artwork
and I'm sure you will as well!

Here's my attempt to make a card similar to her's.

I colored a "Tilda" stamp from Magnolia,

but I don't remember it's name!  (sowwy!)  I love to color

Tilda, as she's just so adorable,

even though she doesn't have a nose or mouth!!  ;)

Here's what you see when you open the card:

Above is a scripture:

"I know the plans

I have in mind for you,

declares the Lord;

they are plans for peace,

not disaster,

to give you a future

filled with hope."

Jeremiah 29:11

Here's a closer look at the inside,

to show you the "wings" on each side.
