Welcome - thank you for visiting again. I had intended to be more frequent in my postings but somehow it hasn't happened.
I decided to enter the 'Simply Less is More" challenge, which is to use the colour yellow. Not one of my go-to colours, but I enjoyed the challenge.

I made the card with a special 'girlfriend' in mind who has known some very difficult times, and who has a painful anniversary soon.
The sentiment (from the retired Layer of Color set Encouragement) was gold embossed on white card and mounted over a yellow layer, then mounted over a yellow leaf skeleton.
The ribbon and embossed border were the final touches.
I am linking this to the Stampin' sisters In Christ challenge based on this scripture - with the thought that we need to 'be real' in our faith.
“Whoever says, ‘I know him’, but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly
perfected in him.” 1 John 2:4-6
I am very happy with the way this card turned out - but it took a lot of brain power and time, for all it's simplicity.:-).

Thank you so much for visiting - may your day be blessed.

Stunning card, Maxine. The colours, sentiment, and embellishments work so well together. I can relate that sometimes a simple card can take a lot of time and thought. You should be proud of this and I hope it is an encouragement to your friend.
