My Favorite Things Sponsors Word Art Wednesday

yes, Yes, YES!!  The one and only, much loved, My Favorite Things is sponsoring the new challenge starting today over at Word Art Wednesday.  One lucky person will WIN a generous $20 gift certificate from our friends over at My Favorite Things.  This adorable store carries the sweetest high-quality stamps, dies, stencils and so much more with their own very unique signature style.  As the Owner/Administrator of this fabulous challenge blog, I'm always honored and delighted to have y'all come play along with us at Word Art Wednesday and I appreciate you for it more than you'll ever really know.

I used kraft cardstock and some pretty patterned papers from the Craft Consortium Bright Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad and I machine stitched them all together to create my fun card base.  The scripture was cut out using a stitched circle die-cut from Gina K. Designs.  I bundled up some Natural Burlap String to place underneath each of my flowers.  The flowers were cut from wool felt using My Favorite Things/Die-Namics rolled flower dies.  I placed some tiny floral prills inside the centers of the flowers.  Sadly, I think these rolled flower dies (I own several) are now retired, but I still love them.

These patterned papers are so pretty, and they really made a lovely base for my simple card.  I tried to match the green wool felt for the leaves with the same shade of green in the patterned paper used on my card base.  The finishing touch on my card was a miniature rusty paperclip.  I just wanted to keep the main focus of this card the scripture sentiment.  It's a FREE download at Word Art Wednesday, and while you don't have to use it in order to play along with us, it's there if you want it.  I do hope you'll stop by to share your art with us for your chance to WIN this fabulous prize from My Favorite Things.

Whatever you're creating this week, it would be greatly appreciated if you'd consider stopping by Word Art Wednesday to link it up with us.  We always enjoy having you play along with us and we consider it a blessing and a privilege to see your wonderful creativity linked in our gallery.  Happy crafting, friends.
