Welcome
Here in New Zealand we are in summer, and that also means that the country pretty much is on a massive 'go slow' from Christmas Eve until late January, as it is the main holiday season.
Which explains why I am a day late with this (I lost track of the date as there is nothing "happening". ..all my usual groups that I participate in don't usually meet in January).
It is also part of the reason I am still working on the borrowed computer as the business providing it for me is 'on holiday'!
This fortnight's Word Art Wednesday Challenge is being sponsored by Neat and Tangled, who are providing a $15 voucher to their store for the prize.
I started this with a piece of patterned paper that took my eye - it was sitting on my desk, and now I cannot find which pad it came from - oops.
The cardstock was from my stash (purchased from a local printer) and matched the pink in the paper.
The scripture is from Lamentations 3:25, and after printing I cut it with a M/B stitched rectangle die (This appears to be discontinued)
I embellished the card with clear rhinestones to the side of the scripture panel
and on one end of the chiffon ribbon. The ribbon was too wide, so I folded it in half to use it, and also to make it show against the dark paper.
I did sponge the inside writing panel with pink ink around the edges, but it does not show in the photo :(,so I left that photo..
I am linking this to:
I used one of my favourite dies, the M/B Rectangle
(Memory Box rectangle)

Pretty card!
Beautiful card and scripture!! The rhinestones and your pink ribbon were the most elegant touch!
Great card Maxine. Lovely sentiment and great background for your card. All those rhinestones are amazing.
A pretty piece of backing paper that is lifted by that bright pink ribbon. I always like a bit of rhinestone bling, and a good verse to kick start the new year with. Love Kate x

The rhinestone applications are very effective and don't overpower the patterned paper. The verse is one of my favorites. Wonderful card, Maxine!
