Hello everyone! I was thrilled when Betty asked me to make a sample for today's CC! Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow and Dusty Durango... (I used a rusty Bazzill). I made this card with the newly released Our Daily Bread designs set, Nest (image) and You Will Find Refuge (sentiment). I colored the image with Copics and then masked it and spritzed the bg with the airbrush. I sewed some leafy stitches around the perimeter of the card. I "stole" Ricky's kitty toy.. well, just a piece of a feather! I took little bits of it and glued it around the top of the nest. I thought this verse went beautifully with the feathers. I hope you like it and I will blog this tomorrow morning. For more info. please visit my blog:

Grace! What a wonder this card is! Your image is sweetly adorable, (and that you stole feathers from your kitty's toy, well...that makes it even sweeter!) Lol. Your stitching is gorgeous, and perfectly highlights this wonderful scripture. Bless your heart- it shows in your work. Hugs sweet friend!

Oh Grace!,
How BEAUTIFUL! Just like your heart! We get a sneak peak of what you are blogging tomorrow? How SPECIAL! I LOVE the fabric you used behind the picture of the nest. The colors in the pattern are so VIBRANT! I ADORE those little leaf stitches! Please tell us, you didn't hand sew each one, did you?! The feather is so much FUN! This is just one of your MAGNIFICENT pieces of ART!
