Before the Throne of God Above (2)

Today's card has the same sentiment as yesterday's card because I cannot get this song out of my head. For all of the lyrics, a history of the song and a link to where you can hear it on YouTube, please click here. I do hope you will check out this song because it is so very powerful. This is another entry to the challenge at Joan's Touch featuring a die, the color black, some sort of embellishment and at least one item that may be purchased at Joan's Gardens.

I believe this is the very first time I have ever made a 6" x 6" card; usually every other time it has been an A2 card because they are so easy to make with 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock; but all the elements I wanted to use would not fit on an A2 card, so this one is bigger.  :o)

A two-layered black and gold frame were mounted around the sentiment and set on the gold and red background with pop dots. Two of the roses were cut from the background paper and one was cut from white cardstock which was spray painted gold. The Lorelai leaves were set in along with some gold leaf and berry embellishments in my stash drawer. A gold bow and ribbon are run across the bottom. The Monarch Butterfly die (got it from Terri at Joan's Gardens recently, and it is a big favorite of mine now!) is layered with red and gold paper with white Ranger Liquid Pearl dots on the body. 

Here is the card:

• Memory Box Lorelai Leaf; Lorelai Outline Leaf

Romans 10:9-11

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
