Word Art Wednesday 258 & 259 ~ Thanks Be Unto God ~

Good morning and welcome to a new challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  This week we have a beautiful passage from the New Testament.  I am very thankful for the most precious gift of Jesus!  Each and every day, I feel His presence and I am so very grateful for my Father's love and mercies!  If you would like to use this beautiful digital image and share your creation with us please visit the Word Art Wednesday blog.  Here is the card I created with today's digi!

Today's card was inspired by a reversible scarf I found recently.  It has a lovely plaid on one side and a fun hounds tooth on the other!  And today's card is based on a fun sketch you can find at MOJO Monday...

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

What a glorious day in Kentucky!  The sun is shining, temps are mild and God's glorious creation surrounds me!  I absolutely LOVE this time of year!  Rich colors, crisp air and the beauty that is an autumn afternoon... 

With that theme in mind, I pulled out a variety of papers and images to create a card celebrating the season.  I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch...

And my take...

I distressed and inked the gingham layer before dry embossing with a fun paisley folder. I placed a couple of strips of faux "wood planking" behind the sentiment panel for that fall farm feel. Doesn't it remind you of a fabulous apple orchard on a crisp fall afternoon? The leaves and acorn are stamps that I inked on coordinating papers and hand cut for interest. A few ecru pearls and a strategically placed flourish add some bling. And just for fun I added a few buttons with cotton cording.

  I just LOVE fall! Can't you tell? :-)

Hugs and blessings...
