I have none of their wonderful stamps, and ended up printing off the scripture and mounting it over scraps off my desk... not that it cleared much of my desk!
I printed out the scripture, which is a freebie over at Word Art Wednesday, and die cut it with a Tim Holtz Stitched Oval die, embossing it, and then colouring it with two inks, Espresso over Ladybird Red, with my blending brushes to tie it in with the background colours, before I removed it from the die.
This panel is tissue glued over card, and is a remnant from another card - it is a very pretty pale aqua colour with silver glitter in it. The butterflies were previously cut oddments on my desk.
The music was from an old hymnal, and the scraps were sitting in my promise box, so I trimmed them to fit top right and bottom left.
Bottom right panel is a snippet from a Brusho's piece, which I had used some copper Sprinklets on...
I tied a ribbon around this panel to balance the butterflies.
The inside was finished with another scrap of the music paper, and the edges of the white panel had been run over the same red ink pad that was used around the scripture oval

Clever use of scraps but even cleverer [hope that is a word ] to be able to coordinate colours so well . Love the Scripture and the butterfly is nice touch .
A great collection of buttons :)! And again nice look with the so different papers! Hugs, Gerrina

An artsy way to use a scraps and remnants -- a gorgeous card and I like how you put this together and the special oval design for the bible phrase.

Great design and the tissue paper and the Brusho's and copper look fabulous x.
Oh Maxine, are our desks ever really clean? LOL! I'm a neat freak and still have stuff EVERYWHERE, especially after a crafternoon! :) LOVE LOVE your card, my friend, especially the bold sponging around the image. Fabulous card! Hugs!
Great use of your bits and pieces Maxine. Lovely card.
Beautiful card and love the sentiment, great design here with your stash.xx
I can never make scraps work. I think of ways, then leave it. My scraps keep getting accumulated until an occasion plann to use as die cut. This is beautiful Maxine. I love the way you designed your card. And the pretty ribbon and butterfly add a great touch.
That is so beautiful, love your work!
Maxine, My husband wishes I would use up my scraps... You have coordinated a lovely verse with a collage of music, scraps and touches of ribbon make for an inspirational creation. Thank you for playing along with us at Jan's Digi Blog Challenge and sharing your creative talents. Happy Crafting and Good Luck!

I am impressed with your blending with the brushes, I have sent for some and eagerly await them to see if my blending can be a bit lighter than what I usually end up with. The say you have done it really enhances the scripture and makes for a beautiful card.
