This week over at Cooking With Cricut we are celebrating National Bible Week. National Bible week is celebrated from November 20 - 26. The design team was challenged to use a Biblical verse on our projects.
I was so excited to create a card. There are so many verses that I love, but this card was special. I immediately thought of my dear friend Anna who nearly lost her life this past weekend. God's providence throughout her ordeal was remarkable. I was and am still so thankful that even though at one point she was so close to going home to heaven, that God saw fit to keep her here for a while longer to be the best wife, mommy, Christian, and friend. She is an amazing person and has a heart of gold. So this card was made with her in mind. I hope it encouraged her and makes her smile knowing just how much she is loved by me and my family.
"Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows"
Matthew 10:31
This verse, in context, talks about how much God loves and cares for us. That even if one sparrow were to fall to the ground, it would not go unnoticed by God. If God cares so much for the sparrow, how much more does He care for us? We are special to Him. So much so that He knows the number hairs on our head. Who knows this but God? My God is amazing. He loves us and cares for us, even if our most scariest moments in life, He is right there with us.
To make this card I used:
Cart: Simply Charmed used with the gypsy to size accordingly.
Misc: Background paper I bought at Hobby Lobby ( can't remember the name) and Colorbok for the bird (gotta love my scraps); Cuttlebug Divine Swirls embossing for the wings and belly of the bird; Ranger distress ink tea dye for inking the bird; Black dimensional enamel for the eye of the bird; ribbon from my stash; and a beautiful fabric flower made by Celeste at Touched By a Butterfly.
