I have had such a hectic week this past week that I completely forgot to post my card I did for the Card Chain Challenge in April. I was supposed to post on May 2 when they did the big reveal of who sent what to whom but that whole day escaped me. Maybe it was because I didn't have my post written and pre-scheduled, and the card had already been mailed so it wasn't in the stack of cards to be posted. In any case, here it is, late but not completely forgotten.
We had options of using any of the things shown below and I think I managed all four:
I hand colored the image with my ProMarkers, hand cut it and the mat, then used a Spellbinders die to cut the "fish tail" in the beige CS behind the image. My blogger friend, Christi, (see her blog post with instructions HERE) showed me how to make that kind of cut. Thanks, Christi.
A little ribbon, a few glittery flowers and it was ready to mail.

Beautiful card! Love the colors. Thank you for blessing us with your artwork here at Word Art Wednesday. Please join us again soon. Leaving you with the inspiration of the scripture from Jeremiah 17:7 (KJV) which says, "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."
