For My Sister

Today I am entering one more card in 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. Items in gold may be purchased there.

This is a special card for me because it is a birthday card for a half sister of mine whom I have not seen since my father died in 1970. We were separated because of various family difficulties; but next month, a few days before her birthday, I am meeting up with her in Oklahoma along with my two older brothers. I am so excited to see her after all these years. I hope she likes me, and I hope she likes the card I made for her. My stepmother has told me about the absolutely stunning embroidery work she does; (reconnecting with my stepmother after over 40 years was another miracle orchestrated by God). 

Our father was extremely artistic and very talented. I guess we both love to create.  :o)

The tools used to make this card are:

Spellbinders:  Jewel Flowers and Flourishes
Cheery Lynn:  Fanciful Flourish; Mini Fanciful Flourish; Art Deco B Corners
Stampabilities:  Composer's Dream Stamp
Stampin' Up Butterfly Punch; Bitty Banners Sentiment

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
