1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Happy Saturday!  It is now baseball/softball season down in the South, so our weeknights and weekends are filled with practices, practices, and more practices.  The only day off is Sunday. . .'thank you, Lord for a day of rest' (that's an honest prayer!). 

 I have something fun to show.  I don't normally stray too far from cards, but occasionally I'll throw in a box, or journal, and today I'm showing off some framed art.  I bought a 4" x 6" wooden frame from our local craft store and painted it white, or at least it is a bit whitewashed.  I used the 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps.  I love that they have full verses in stamp form.  I made this for the Simon Says 'anything but a card' challenge, I used the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch for my layout, and it fits the 'cut it out' challenge for Our Creative Corner (I cut out the frame papers).
 Stamps:  1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Rich Razzleberry (SU)
Paper:  Cottonball White (CDS), Razzleberry Lemon dp (or something like that, hehe)
Accessories:  half back pearls, sponge, Rolled Flower Die-namics (MFT), yellow felt (MFT), wooden frame, white acrylic paint, Copic marker V12 with airbrush

I love white or off white pearls, because with Copics you can make them any color you want!  I used my airbrush system to make sure I didn't have brush strokes, but I love how they turned out.  I kind of feel like there is something missing from this picture.  Maybe it's the space in between the two top pearls. . .do you think it needs something?
I hope you all have a wonderful and restful weekend :D

    I don't think it needs a thing.. This is beautiful.. I LOVE it. The colors are so pretty. My favorite verse too. I love baseball days. Believe it or not I miss all that. Being so busy you don't know what day it is.. That means your kids are still needy of mom.. Those days go fast. Have fun. We start tomorrow too..
