Project Details
For this week's challenge, there are two dear sisters in Christ who use the diverse talents the Lord has given them for His glory as they encourage others. Both have first names that begin with the letter "M", both live on islands in the Pacific (though they are more than 4,000 miles apart) and both LOVE to try new techniques and various mediums (canvas, fabric, knitting. . .) Both have a love for the Lord, are faithful prayer warriors and have the gift of encouragement. I am blessed beyond measure that the Lord has given me such sweet sisters, though we have never yet met in real life. My card this week is honor of my dear friends, Marsha Fisher (CG Girl) and MaxineD (Kiwime's Kreations) and just for them, I tried a new technique for a single layer card. More specific links are provided below.
