THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE...

...TRUST GOD FOR WHAT YOU NEED.

This is another pastor card that started out with a watercolor panel done with distress inks and a honeycomb embossing folder.  After pressing the paper to the folder and letting it dry, I used a stitch-edged die to cut it down for the card front.  The verse is stamped in black directly on the panel.

The bee and leaf sprigs were stamped on the same paper and colored with distress markers.  The bee was added with a dimensional, and Crystal Stickles was applied to the wings.  Before mounting the panel to the card, I stamped some sprigs on the sides of the green card base with Versamark.

For the inside, I stamped another sprig on the bottom left of an inner white panel cut from printer paper.  This sure looks summery inside and out!
