Inspired Stamps Scripture Card Set

Hello and welcome here!  We've had a very active week here, schools closed due to cold weather, the stomach flu hit our youngest quite hard, schools closed because of blizzard conditions, a gas pipeline 20 miles from here exploded (we were one of the lucky ones to still have heat), and planning a birthday party for a soon to be teenager tomorrow.  How's your week been, lol?

This week the Inspired Stamps DT are sharing Card Sets using birthday stamp sets, except for me, boo, I wrote down Scripture for some reason.  Well, it just goes to show you I'm human, lol.  So be sure to check out the rest of the DT who actually are able to follow instructions:)

Card Sizes:  4.25" x 5.5"

Here's my set of non-birthday cards, lol.  I used the same 2x2 scripture for each one, Isaiah 41:10, and just changed up the card design.

I found THIS sketch to use for my card and used a couple of dies to give it some character.  I finished it off with a small bow and some Dew Drops.

I used this month's newly released Scripture Holding Girl with Curls, and Isaiah 26:4.  And of course I couldn't resist using purple since it is one of my favourite colours.  I coloured her with Copics and used a window to frame her with.  I added the scripture underneath her window.
