Butterfly Card By Guest Designer/Host Paula-Kay BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks you so much Paula, for your beautiful work and words! Paula is a very experienced designer and she has always been so kind and sweet to me when we meet at card making events! I am very happy to have her as my guest and hope she will host again in the next few months!

Hi there!  This is Paula-Kay Bourland joining Debbie in helping friends “SEEK HIM DAILY”.  I’m honored to post a card for you to enjoy.

My card is made with a stamp set from Stampin’ Up’s Sale-a-Bration going on now until March 31, 2015.  It is called Butterfly Basics.  I’ve also used the Butterflies Thinlits Dies.  For this card I made my own background using stamps in the set.  The inks I used are Palette Jardin Moss, Boudoir Blush, and Raw Sienna.  I just stamped them randomly over the card.  The base card is green cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment in Palette Noir ink and matted it in the green cardstock.  A green ribbon was placed under the sentiment, which is popped up with foam mounting tape.  Lastly, I added two butterfly die cuts, one cut from the green cardstock and one from a multicolor dotted cardstock.

I love the sentiment with this set.  It reminds me of some spiritual truths.  We all are sinners in depravity before God saves us and makes all things new.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”  Our lives are completely transformed by Christ, just like the caterpillar is transformed into a beautiful butterfly.  As we look at people in our lives who seem to be caterpillars who do not have spiritual life and vitality, we cannot know what God plans for them.  We must love them and share the good news of salvation with them.  Perhaps they too can be transformed into something beautiful by His love and grace.

Have a blessed day!

Butterflies Make Me SMILE! SO SEEK HIM DAILY!!

This card is so pretty and I copied it from laurascreativemoments.blogspot.  WOW I wish I could go take a few classes with her for sure! This is the swallow tail stamp from Stampin' Up! and she has made it in several colors.  She has used a sponge or dauber to accent her paper with brown ink to give a aged or antiqued look to her cards. I am so excited to try to make one of these that I had to share it with all of you!  I am going to begin a new phase only blog and I am happy to announce my first guest host/designer!  I am inviting friends to help get our praise on and share our uplifting stories and a card design!  My first new host will be Betty Schaub! She has been dear friend for five years and she is a very talented artist~! Betty and I were brought together at a time that we both needed a good friend and the Lord helped us to grow through him! Betty knows the value of praise and having good friends to help you "SEEK HIM DAILY" and this is my new journey on my blog! Please e-mail me if you would be a guest host on "Seeking Him Daily"  Blessings my friends! debsegler@gmail.com.
