Do Not Grow Weary. . .

Sometimes, many times, it is easy to grow discouraged and weary as we look around and see what appears to be the darkness of evil and wickedness closing in, yet we must remember the promises of the Lord and that He is, even now, making all things right. He promised that His kingdom will spread from a tiny seed to a magnificent tree covering the entire earth (to paraphrase).

We must press on in the strength He provides doing the good works He has called us to do, with our eyes fixed upon Him and our eternal home.. . .remembering that He who began a good work in you, WILL carry it forward to the day of completion.

Project Description

For this challenge, I used a Stencil Girl's Chevron Doily Mask stencil on a beautiful WorldWin Papers shimmery wheat card stock using Ranger Distress Inks in Cotton Candy,, Tumbled Glass and Faded Lipstick. Atop the stenciled doily, I've placed some Prima swirls, a Wilton pastry doily, a stamped banner and then accented with some FOLDED fans. The fans are crafted with papers from World Win (velum and pool). I then used flowers from 7 Gypsies and finished off with a vintage button from my collection (thanks to my mom and grandmothers!)

Paper: WorldWin Papers Pool, Red Apple, Vellum.
Ink: Brown, Ranger Distress Cotton Candy, Worn Lipstick, Tumbled Glass.
Accessories: Prima gems and swirls, 7 Gypsies flowers, Wilton pastry doily.
Stamps: Outside: Our Daily Bread Designs Thank You Sentiments; Inside ~ Verve and ODBD Thank You.
