My Cubby Crafts: Not a Rectangle!

Hello, today I have a card to share that I've created for MelJen's challenge- not a rectangle. Since I have always done either rectangles or squares, I thought I'd try something new. So here is my very first circle card!

What do you think? I used an image from Cuddly Buddly and cut it out with a pair of scissors. To mask the "mistakes" I inked the edges of the scallop a bit with some black ink. I love white sheep so I only coloured the flower and the "grass". I layered this on some embossed green cardstock and a doily then adhered it to the card that is from some embossed cardstock. All the embossing kinda disappeared with this layout so I used a distress ink pad from Tim Holtz in sage to bring out the patterns a bit. After that the doily looked a bit too white so I decided that it would be nice blue! So I inked that. I added a couple of eyelets to the edge of the card and threaded a ribbon through it and finished it off in a bow. I added some lovely blue/green pearls and then I used my silver ink pad to brush on some sparkle to the outer ring of the card. (sorry it doesn't show in the pic.) All in all, I thought it was fun! Thanks for dropping by! I love all your comments! makes me want to share more! LOL
I'm also entering this card in Sweet Stampin's challenge - Sparkle and Bling

Salvation FULL & FREE!

"But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

Romans 5:8-10

So what does this mean?

God proved his love for us, sinners, through the death of his sinless Son. This death was not accidental. It was sacrificial and necessary for the reconciliation of sinners. The penalty for sin is death. However, there is hope in Christ! His death on the cross paid the price for your sins and mine and brings forgiveness from and peace with God. Christ's resurrection and present ministry in heaven keep us saved. Once you have accepted this precious gift, you can never lose it! AMEN!

Have YOU repented, believed, and been reconciled? I pray that you have!
