Inspired By... Quote Me



 I had an idea right away when I saw the theme for Inspired  By Challenge #162 called Quote Me. I had many quotes I could choose from and wanted to feature a favorite Bible verse. Imagine  my delight when the quote fit perfectly into the Open Book Die from Sugar Pea Designs! I'd been waiting for this die to get back in stock and now is the perfect moment to use it for the first time. 

Here it is!


Do you remember Verve stamps? I loved the Scripture verses especially and think the sentiment and die from PTI works well with it. 

I did some ink blending on the background and the large book. The flowers were colored with Copics. I added a few gems and Glossy Accents to the thin black strip. 



Want to know something about my color combo? I saw Sen. Amy Klobuchar wear a beautiful coat in a luscious color of pale pumpkin on Inauguration Day. Honey or marigold come to mind. She paired it with a burgundy scarf and face mask. Honestly, you can find color inspiration everywhere, HA! I love the honey gold of the bear in our photo too. 


I will also share this card at NBUS, never-before-used-shtuff! 

Hope you will be inspired to play along! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by~

Be yourself

     Delight in your craft
