One of my favorite sentiments is from Quote Collection 4, and I decided to use it with the beautiful new Vintage Flourish Pattern die. I chose to use a shade of aqua for this week's challenge, and I kept it simple by sponging around the sentiment, adding some ribbon and pearls in the corners, and popping it up on the card base with dimensionals. How nice that the die does the piercing!
I am blessed to have so many special friendships, and they truly do touch my heart!
Jesus is the finest example of a true Christian friend who was never selfish and sacrificed His life for us to make us righteous before God when we accept Him as Savior. If we choose our friends based only on what they have to offer, we will rarely discover the blessings of a genuine friendship.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3
