The Lord Bless You and Keep You...

Well here is my latest card. 


Clear Dollar Stamps has a new challenge (Clearly Inspired Challenge #23).  The challenge is to use Soft Mint, Cottonball White and Porcelain Pink on one card. 

I love this argyle paper from Me & My Big Ideas; I am not sure that my colors are an exact match, but they seem pretty similar.  I had very similar cardstock and paper colors on hand for the sentiment and the mats. 

The verse Numbers 6:24-25 is very special in my family.  It is a blessing that my mom prayed over us each night when she tucked us into bed.  Then my brother and I also both had it as a blessing at the end of our weddings. 

I had prepared the card minus the butterflies and was looking for something to add to the card.  I just purchased an embossing heat tool yesterday and I was happy to give it a try.  I stamped the three butterflies on white cardstock and embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I think they really provide the finishing touch.
