This card is for a special friend of mine who is always such an encouragement to everyone around her. It is so wonderful to hear how the Lord is using her both in her personal life and in her work life. People are just so attracted to her because she is such a loving and warm person.
Recently I found this wonderful, bright colored twine by the Twinery that I fell in love with!! And, the colors match PTI colors so well!! See that one that matches Hawaiian Shores? SWOON!!! :) (hint, hint, if you like, it, I bought a bunch and might consider cutting some up and adding it to my Etsy store at a great price. Are you interested?)
I punched holes in the tree branch, knotted the twine and slipped it through the holes. Isn't that sentiment wonderful!! Oh my how I do love it!!
Here's one last one to show you the dimension a little better:
Aren't these colors so wonderful together! I saw them featured on a challenge and remembered them. The challenge is called Color Cue by WPlus9.
Thanks for stopping by!! Be sure to visit Laurie's blog too and let her know how wonderfully beautiful her card is (and it IS gorgeous, just wait until you see it!!).
