Whenever the
rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it
and remember
the everlasting covenant between God
and all living
creatures of every kind on the earth.
Genesis 9:16
There will always be rain - and often extreme storms - but
God has promised us Rainbows afterward - a beautiful reward for having gone
through the soggy, wet, cold, uncomfortable times. My ‘Baby Sister’ has been going through some ‘extreme
storms’ and last week, because of some long-awaited - and some other totally
unexpected (!) - circumstances, she finally has a Rainbow in her stormy
life! Rainbows have always been
her ‘special trademark,’ and so I decided to make a Rainbow Card for her.
I cut a Window Card and the Rainbow and Clouds with my Cricut
and SCAL2 from files I’ve had for quite a while. I ‘restructured’ the Window file a bit to suit my personal
design for the card. I found an
image of a Pot online and ‘created and restructured’ it, also, in my SCAL2
program! I get so excited when
I’ve taught myself how to do things - and this I’ve done a number of times - so
that I have the shapes I need. The
‘gold’ in the pot is gems from Recollections. I made the clouds and grass areas using paper templates I
made and inked with little makeup sponges. I embossed transparent paper for the curtains I designed and
made little bow and pearl tiebacks.
I added mini-brads for the door handles.
How has God shown YOU a Rainbow at some time?
I have just linked to FaveCrafts April Blog Hop! I'm Number 32! Check out all of the splendid offerings on their page -
God has shown me many rainbows, but sometimes I just shut my eyes and turn my head away because the rainbow doesn't look like I wanted it to.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!!! I loved reading about how you achieved the details like the doorhandles. :)
ReplyDeleteI think God showed me a beautiful rainbow when he put me in my blogging group this January! It's a beautiful thing, with all of us so different and yet so similar. Our individual colors show, but together we're even better.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!

What a beautiful card. I find peace in the fact that God never changes. What He said in His Word stands. He keeps His promises. :)
