Lavender, Mini-roses, and Rhinestones

Welcome

I love this time of year when my lavender is flowering, so much so I used it as a prop for my photo.  For me, the lavender flowering means it is close to Christmas.
This card is for the new Word Art Wednesday Challenge (weeks #366-367), and the beautifully crafted scripture is available as a free download there.


I started with a card base that I had made for a bridge card some months ago, but never finished.  I discovered that I had printed the scripture out at the perfect size for the centre panel, so die cut it using a Memory Box Stitched rectangle die, and sponged it with some ink before removing the die.
I also put a dot of gold ink in the centre of both stars.


To decorate I used strips of clear rhinestones and some mini roses I had on hand



Quite a simple card but I love it.
