I'm having a class next week called Bunches of Punches-this is one of the ATC's I did for a swap..I'll post the 28 other ATC samples in the Photo Album when I receive it back. Meanwhile, can you name and guess how many punches I used to make this? Respond by posting a comment...
I really like the cardstock color combinations of Bashful Blue, Tempting Turquoise and Cool Caribbean...
A very dear friend of mine who LOVES turquoise, has has been going thru a tough time for quite awhile and of late has some serious medical issues and hard decisions to make. I wanted to cheer her up, and remind her that God is in control-and everything will be ok if she remembers her faith so I used this ATC as a base and made it into a card. (That's what's so great about ATC's-you can build them into cards or put them into scrapbook pages later!). Here is how the card turned out...
I thought the French Flair background stamp from the Winter Mini Catalog and Organdy Ribbon would add elegance to the otherwise whimsical ATC and switched to the Small Oval Punch for the saying and changed from Bold Brights Brads instead of silver. A simple adaptation converted this cutesy ATC into a lovely card!
Inside I used a saying from Elegant Inspirations which says: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" Romans 12:12.
My friend LOVED it! More importantly, it lifted her spirits and she said she will refer to it over and over again whenever she feels the stress taking over...that's just what I wanted to hear!
