ODBDSLC216 - Scripture Inspiration

The Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs this week is a scripture inspiration challenge.  Join us here for all of the details.

Our scripture verse inspiration is Ecclesiastes 3:1

For every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. 

Obviously, I chose Christmas as my season, but I also used this wonderful verse from Isaiah for the front of my card which goes with verse 2 of Ecc. 3 which says, 'A time to be born, a time to die', and nothing illustrates that more beautifully than the birth of Jesus, who was born to die for our salvation! Wow, the precious gift of Jesus, who came as a sacrifice so that we can have eternal life!!

 I chose the lovely new image by Our Daily Bread Designs, Mother and Child Ornament layered on the ODBD doily die,  and added the new poinsettia dies, and beautiful paper from the ODBD Blushing Rose Collection.  The wonderful verse is from the ODBD Joy to the World stamp set.


ODBD Dies Used: Peaceful Poinsettia Dies, Doily Dies
ODBD Paper Used: Blushing Rose Collection



Other Supplies: Foam tape, glitter glue, embossing folder, heat embossing, re inkers, water pen.

Check out the blogs of my talented friends for more inspiration.

    Oh, DJ, what a beautiful Christmas card! I love your vibrant colors with such wonderful texture! The embossing is wonderful along with the doily die (I love that so), but your poinsettias steal the show for texture!! Wow, they are beautiful! And what lovely elements for this precious ornament with Mary and the babe Jesus with the verse from Isaiah prophesying the coming of the Messiah...to die for us! That's what Christmas is all about! Beautiful card for this challenge, sweet friend! Hugs!
