Welcome
Thank you to all my followers who are so patient with me - I am gradually starting to feel refreshed, but there are still days where I am in bed very early... This is my fortnightly post for the new
Word Art Wednesday challenge
The background started life for another card, but I gave up on it, then found it again (in my promise box) when I went to make this card.
The background as made using Emerald, Turquoise and Purple Busho powders. Once the panel was dry, I die cut it using a Mod Hex Background die that appears to have been discontinued.
I layered the panel over some sparkle card in pale turquoise, and then added the scripture which had been cut out using a M/B Stitched rectangle die, and stippled with some Broken China DI.
The flowers were from a pack that I bought close on 15 years ago when I first started card making, from the local Warehouse store. The glittered brad was initially a silver one I coated with glossy accents and then dipped it in some fine blue sparkle.
I finished the inside with some washi tape, but the camera batteries 'died' before I could take a photo...

I love your card. The background is really inspiring. I love that used hexagon dies to this fabulous brushos. And the sparkling brad is simply amazing.
Take care of yourself, my friend. Kisses!!!
I'm sorry Maxine, I'm behind on my commenting once again. Sounds like you have been ill and I'm so sorry to hear this. I pray you are feeling better again, it is ok to still go to bed early, listen to your body and it will tell you what you need to do. This card is stunning Maxine, I love your brusho background and those glittery hexi's. The flowers finish off the beautiful sentiment perfectly! Hugs, Brenda
Oh so lovely Maxine, all you ladies want me to buy Brushos, they give such vibrant and interesting texture. And those hexagons wow.. so cool! I believe, You must take rest as much as possible, crafting is for leisure, shouldn't stress your body. Take care dear.
Lovely work, thanks for sharing with Crafting from the Heart!
Such a beautiful card Maxine!

What a shame they no longer make that die, it is lovely and so useful, especially for backgrounds. I should imagine you can use the cut out bits too.
Love the background colours you used. A very nice card Maxine.
Blessings, Neet xx
Now this is really special. All the blues are amazing. Love the verse.

Take care, my blog friend,
Monica
