This week's verse is Proverbs 8:17. "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me." This verse refers to seeking God's wisdom, which is found in Scripture. I have found it so important for me to set aside time early each day to read and study a portion of God's Word.
I decided that I wanted to showcase this Scripture verse with some flowers, and you know how much I love flowers, right? I white embossed the flowers onto card stock, sponged the colors with Distress inks, and then fussy cut them (something else I love). Next I used some oval dies to highlight the verse on the curved rectangle die that was layered on top of the Island Indigo embossed layer. Then I added the flowers using some thin dimensional squares and added some sequins. Now it's ready to be mailed.
Karen Letchworth shares a wonderful devotional about each Word Art Wednesday challenge verse, and I know you will be greatly encouraged by reading it.
I love them that love me;
and those that see me early shall find me.
Proverbs 8:17

This card is superb and the special verse is certainly the focal point, great one to send off and encourage someone.
It's late here and I better get to bed but wanted to thank you most earnestly before the day ended. You are a precious sister in the Lord, I can't wait till the day we meet in glory, prob not in this life.
Love in His sweet Name above all names,

I am doing a happy dance indeed and am ever so delighted to see you join the WAW team! This is amazing news and I'm just so proud of you! First of all, I will get to see even more of your beautiful work and secondly your heart for The Word is going to be on display in a grander sense and I love that! Yippee! I just love your kickoff project and that you used some real stamps/embossing here. Fun to see from you! Big mushy hugs, Autumn
Well, I'm just all excited about this, Cheryl! It means more beautiful cards from one of my favorite stampers, and this challenge is such a perfect fit for you. You've used a stamp set today which I've loved since I first saw it and if I wasn't already buried in stamps it would be in my collection. I love that you watercolored the flowers so beautifully in yellow with those fresh green leaves. The stitched die cuts and your choice of embossing folder for the background are perfect with the flowers. Congratulations on joining the WAW team!
Congrats to you, Cheryl, for being added to this design team! Your card is lovely! I like the teal color for your background with the bright flowers! Way to showcase that lovely verse from Proverbs.
