Thanksgiving is officially a memory! We had a wonderful time this year enjoying one anothers company and reflecting on all of the blessings God has given us. It amazes me to think just how fortunate I am! And it humbles me to know just how little I deserve! It is only through His grace that we have hope.
So it is my sincere wish this holiday season to not get so caught up in the hustle and bustle. My desire is to not only hear that small, still voice but to act upon it... to remember my Savior is near. For without that voice, I would be truly without hope. Until next time...
Blessings....
Today's card features a plethora of lovely distressed and inked layers. If you look closely you will even see some paper piercing! (something I rarely do...) The poinsettia is a lovely die cut image by Spellbinders with a bit of watered down paint splattered on with my old tooth brush... kinda looks like those jingle bell poinsettias I so dearly love! :-)

Lori, I really like studying the cards you so very artsy people create. The paper piercing, the mattes, layers upom layers, vivid colors, embossing, and who knows how much work went into that beautiful flower? The chickadee even appears to be sitting on a branch. How do you do it? Thank you so much for linking with us at WAW.
