Brave wings

 My friend has been going through a lot with health problems here lately and through it all she has stayed positive, she is single and says she puts all her trust in God. So when I saw this sentiment I just had to use it on her birthday card.

I love Hunkydory's artwork, always makes beautiful cards.  Since it is a big size circle I decided to make a circle card instead of putting it on rectangle or square base.


  • Hunkydory - Flutterbye wishes, layers built up with foam tape
  • Spellbinders - Grand Decorative Circles one die
  • Tim Holtz - small talk sentiment
  • Gems
You can see more of the foiling on the images with the side view.


I hope you had a nice weekend.  

My hubby is replacing out deck, he has done 85% of the work all by himself, I have helped with what I can. We are now on the home stretch, we have to start building the rails and install the step yet, getting so close, can't wait to sit out their and enjoy it :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi,

Connie

Beautiful card. Pop dotted flowers really look great. I'm in love with the circle. That's nice that your husband is so handy.

Absolutely beautiful Connie and I have no doubt it will make your friend forget all her health issues (even if it's for a few minutes). And that sentiment sounds perfect! Beautiful job my friend!

OH WHAT FUN ... a new deck to sit on ... you're going to LOVE IT! We put ours on the first year after buying the house (18 years ago now) and we have had so many wonderful, relaxing hours sitting out there watching the squirrels & birds. Whether it's early morning breakfast or evening dinner ... we find great solace out on our deck ... I hope you will too!
