Divine Design for May
May 8th, 2008
It’s time once again for the Bible Verse Challenge. You can read Challenge details on SCS by clicking here – we’d love to have you join us any time. The idea is to make a card or page each month featuring a different Bible verse for memorization and meditation/prayer so that at the end of the year you have a completed project either for yourself or for a gift. I am making 5″ x 3 3/8″ journaling cards to fit into a Provo Craft mini top-loading tin.
Our Pastor has been teaching from the book of Proverbs and this Sunday he’ll be covering the Proverbs 31 Woman. I’m anxious to hear the sermon and decided to get a jump start by choosing Proverbs 31:30 as my verse for this month’s challenge.
This hummingbird/flower image from Spring Song (SU) was one I had colored with Copics while watching a movie the other night. It was stamped on shimmer cardstock so the hummingbird has that irridescent effect I love. The Color Challenge on SCS this week is Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery so I went with that. I punched the window in the Lilac layer using a square punch multiple times. Then I ran that layer through my cuttlebug for the embossed swirls which I then rubbed with Brilliance Pearlescent Orchid ink. The verse was printed on vellum and adhered behind the window. The stamped image was cut out and attached with foam tape for dimension.
This verse is a good reminder to keep our priorities straight. Not that there’s anything wrong with beauty or concern for our appearance, but it’s important to keep in perspective the things that will last into eternity and to keep God before and above all other concerns. The Proverbs 31 Woman is a busy busy gal…nevertheless she has her head on straight and she keeps God first. With all she has going on, if she can do it what excuse could I possibly have?
I’m anxious to see what my fellow Scripture Chicks have created for the challeneg this month. Wanna join me in some blog hopping to check it out?
Nancy Morgan (hmmm…I’m not getting the link to work – hopefully one of the other chicks will have it linked. Sorry!)
Thanks for stopping by.

Very beautiful! This was the verse my society at college had as our key verse, it’s always very convicting!

Oh my word! Gorgeous Jami. The shimmer effect really makes that hummingbird stand out. Hmmm, have to get some of that cardstock now. I’ve been meaning to join this challenge, just haven’t done it. One of these days I’ll get my booty in gear and get moving on it.
