February Bible Verse
I’m trying to play catch up with the Divine Design Bible Verse Challenge. I started late and just last week did January’s verse, so this is my February verse. This challenge challenges us to make something each month with a Bible verse on it for the purpose of memorization. I am making index type cards and will soon make a file box to keep them in. Many are making cards and books — whatever you want! All are welcome to join in, and here’s the link to the challenge in the forums at SCS. Please, check it out! Here’s my February index card with verse:
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 What powerful words — and what comforting words. And how often we are able to rely on the power of God’s word when it is committed to memory. I am so grateful for this Bible Verse Challenge and look forward to making more index cards with longer portions of scripture that I have not yet committed to memory. I urge anyone who is so inclined to join in — it truly will be a blessing!
My index card base measures 4 x 6. All DP used is from a Periphery 6 x 6 pad by Basic Grey. I have been using up scrap pieces from other projects, which works wonderfully on these simple, collage type index cards. My entire project for the year will continue with the same papers/colors so I have a cohesive and attractive file box full of index cards once the year is complete.
My sentiment is from Elegant Inspirations, a recently retired SU set. Gee, I hated to see that one go. I love the verses and I love the font used. My little With Love panel was cut from a scrap, the lower rose piece is distressed on the top, and I’ve used a variety of stamps from Flourished Elements, Flourished Words and Many Sentiments, all by Flourishes. I used the white paper sold by Paper Trey and I love it’s pure whiteness and how well it *rags out* - yes, a totally technical term! What I mean is how easily it distresses and how easily it separates into layers so I can separate and curl them, like on the corners. Really love the weight of this paper, too! I’m trying to stick with my *Clean Shabby* look for this project. I like the distressing of the sentiment panel, the DTP’ing (applying the ink directly to the paper from the ink pad) of the DP panels, but I like to keep my white nice and fresh and clean and my base fresh and clean as well. It’s just a look I like!!
