Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #11

This week for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, was to create a card that remind a friend that God, although unseen is still with them. I love this verse. How awesome to know that the Holy Spirit is with us FOREVER. Last night as I was making this card I was listening to Selah's YOU DELIVER ME cd. I was listening to the words of the old hymn God Be With You till We Meet Again. Written in the 1880's. The part that touched me the most last night was verse # 3 ... When life's perils thick confound you, Put His arms unfailing round you, God be with you till we meet again. Isn't that a comforting thought of God with His arms around us? This card was a little hard to photograph. The gold embossing doesn't shine as much as it does in real life. I tried the double embossing technique from the technique lovers challenge at SCS for yesterday. I took it a step further and added heat embossing too.

  5. That is a comforting thought MariLynn, Glad you found inspiration in the music, I often find it helps to have it on while creating, to remind me of our heavenly Father and all He has done for us. A very beautiful card.
