MAGNOLIA DOWN UNDER CHALLENGE#39 {Stitching Real or Fake}

It's Holy Thursday and this morning, the topic on my daily Bible Devotional is about building our relationship with our Creator while we are still alive. Because according to Psalm 39:11, "Everyone's life is only a breath." That's why while we are still alive, we must always remember to give thanks and praise to God for everything that He's doing to us. Whatever situation we are in at any point, we must praise God for He alone knows what's best for us. Build up and deepen our relationship with Him by accepting and receiving His son Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour so we can spend eternal life with Him knowing we are saved. God made the ultimate sacrifice when He offered His only son to die on the cross just for us to be saved. And that's the very essence of this Easter -- for us to rejoice that Jesus has conquered the grave; that He rose from the dead and we too, will experience that if we are in Him and remain in Him. :) I hope you'll set aside even a short period of time to contemplate this Holy Week and to read your Bible everyday to strengthen your faith.

Okay, my card here is my take for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #39 --to use stitching either real or fake. In my case, I did a faux stitching as I don't have a sewing machine & I don't know how to sew using that. LOL! I was about to colour this RAK image with my Prismacolor pencil but I found out that my Dark Purple pencil was missing. :( I've checked my colour chart to know that I have it eversince, and yes it was but the pencil itself was missing. So, I decided to use my Sugarloaf Markers which were "untouched" for a very long time. Actually, I coloured it with the combination of Sugarloaf markers, Copics and Bic Mark It. :) The sentiment is from a craft show months ago which was stamped onto white cs, cut with Labels 8 (the smallest size) and sponged around it using So Saffron while still inside the die.


The dp is one of the very first dp's that I acquired when I was just starting. I think this one's by Dena Designs. I made the felt flower (the pink ones) using my Flower Creations Shapeabilities and combined it the flowers I have on my stash.

This is all for now. Thanks for visit and God bless us all!

Hugs,

Jhet
