Let Us Rejoice and Be Glad!

Hi friends.  The beautiful vintage image on my card is from The Graphics Fairy.  Karen at The Graphics Fairy offers all sorts of wonderful vintage images for free.  Please be sure to leave her a nice thank you if you if you download one of her images.  The verse I used is from Heart and Soul Rubber Stamp Company.

My card base is kraft.  I aged the the doily and the dictionary page that I used for a background by soaking them in strong coffee for about 5 minutes.  All of the papers are inked on the edges.  I added some Stickles to the lilacs and used a clear lacquer pen on the bird's eye.  I finished my card off with a twine bow and an antique button that has a pretty design on it.
I'm entering these challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #30 Scripture or Uplifting or Encouraging Sentiment.
Frilly and Funkie Kraft and Twine
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge Background Text
Little Miss Muffet Rainbows, Clouds, or Wings

Blessings
  • After some setbacks, my grand dog is improving from his surgery. 
  • Pretty marbles in a jar with the sun shining through.
  • Working together as a family to make life easier or better for each other.
  • Delightful weather.
Have a glorious day!!!

Inky hugs!
Shelly
