Winter is Past

     My card today was a commissioned card and the scripture from Song of Solomon was specifically requested.  For me right now, after a full week of rain every day and another 3 days of it predicted, it feels more like a prayer.  :-D  Either way, it's a great spring card.

     I pulled the sentiment from {PIN}terest after the lady who commissioned the card showed me where to find it.  Sorry, folks, I spend very little time on {PIN}terest; I'm much more apt to be found in my craft room than at the computer, surfing around websites or social media. 

     I sized it to fit the card, printed it, cut it into a square, and used a Fiskars punch on the corners.  I printed the roses in gray scale and used ProMarkers to color them.  I added highlights with a white gel pen.  I used a rectangle die from QuicKutz to cut the image, then used a kraft knife to gently distress the edges.

     I added the sentiment piece after I inked the edges on it.  The satin ribbon across the bottom of the card was a scrap left on my desk and I also added one of my signature, hand-sewn bows.  All of that went onto a yellow card base which had been run through my Linen embossing folder.  Sweetly feminine and the lady loved it.  :-D
