Well my card today started with having my lunch hour in my car yesterday, I went to have a quiet moment and turned on the radio and listened to Jeremy Vine on Radio 2, he has a chat show and yesterdays theme was favourite Hymns, I’m not overly religious but I do prayer from time to time and I like to think there is someone out there for us all.
I have to say I found myself singing along and then I heard Onward Christian Soldiers, this Hymn has such memories for me as my Dad would sing it at the top of his voice mainly on a Sunday Morning because my Mam would listen to Mantovani Orchestra on her record player whilst baking and making the Sunday Roast.
So you could say that I was inspired by the radio.
I simply love this sentiment, it is perfect for letting a friend or family know you care and this one is headed for a very dear friend of mine.
I distressed the background card in a sage coloured ink the used the same ink to stamp some sprigs on top. I used a Marianne Frame die for the sage frame then stamped the sentiment in a moss green ink and used a Spellbinders Nestabilities label die to cut it out.
I finished with a couple of pearls and a green satin ribbon making a double bow from my Double Ribbon Bow Tutorial
The rubber stamp I used is called Stampendous M107 Prayer I have had mine quite some while so hopefully you can still get it.
Wow Beautiful!! Sentiment is so super fabulous!

ReplyDeleteJak truly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI love absolutely everything about it. I often make cards to send to people who for various reasons, age, ill health etc., are no longer able to attend church. Please can I ask where you got the stamp from because I would be interested in getting it.
Thank you
Wow Jak, just gorgeous! I'm sure your friend will really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jak, love the soft colouring and the sentiment.

Fabulous, each new card, fabulous and your round scallop easel card is stunning.
ReplyDeleteLove the prayer sentiment it reminds me of our grandson, he loves to say grace before eating now.
He's just starting to talk so it's short and sweet, "Oh God, Amen"!
