If you got here from beautifully talented Tosh's Blog you are in the right place.  


For my card I am using ODBD You Are the Potter stamp set and Vine background stamp.  


I am using some Echo Park For the Record 2 Tailored designer papers.  I combined four different patterns in keeping with the sketch.  I inked distressed all panels and stitched.  I stamped the focal panel background with the Vine Background in a golden color for a subtle background and to add another color and pattern.  

I stamped the clay pots that come in the set and colored with copics.  To add a just kiln look finished I clear embossed them twice using versamark and clear ep.  I cut out and adhered to the Vine background circle.  I added a few touches of shadow with a C1 copic marker.    I added an ink distressed coordinated seam binding bow top with matching twined knotted button.   I finished with a scripture pennant tag that I stapled with with a criss cross pattern for a stitched look.  I am using this wonderful sketch from Sketch N Stash.  I chose to use an A2 size instead of square.  My stash is something new.  I am using a new Vine background stamp.


As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the fabulously talented Connie's blog.

  2. What a wonderful take on that sketch! That verse is one of my favorites. It reminds me that He knows so much better than I do what is best for me... even if that means that I need to go through times that in my eyes are less than perfect. Beautiful card!
