Birthday Wishes - Psalm 91:14-16

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 91 : 14-16

Welcome to Digi Desserts Fridaze in connection with My Paper Crafting !    We, on the Design Team, are to create a project using a Digital File from the vast selection at MyPaperCrafting.com every Friday, share them with You and encourage You to visit over there, get the FREE Digi File for today, make a project with it and link it for all to see.  The ‘winning’ designer is highlighted next week as a Guest Designer!   It’s an easy and fun thing to do on the weekend! 

For this week’s project I made a Birthday Card using the Bible Verse sentiment from MPC that I had used several weeks ago on another ‘manly’ card.  The meaning of it holds true for many whom I know and will be pertinent for the person for whom I made this card.  I made this one somewhat rustic, but as it’s been a LONG winter in the Midwest, I wanted to add and send a bit of Spring.  Along with a piece of inked corrugated cardboard and a scrap of woven wallpaper, I included a tree with flowering blossoms, ripped grass by the picket fence and bushes and a butterfly.  I also used a Color Inspiration Chart for my color combination.  Here it is –

Pear Tones

Here is the card -

Closed -

Standing slightly open -

Angled view -

Verse sentiment raised on PopDots -

A butterfly representing New Beginnings/Changed Life -

A blossom on each 'curly-Q' on the tree -

Here are the files I used –

Psalm 91 : 14-16 - for Him!

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

For this week’s project I made a rustic, manly card incorporating a Verse Digi from Melin’s Digi Files.  I feel it’s appropriate for – perhaps – someone on Deployment or in some kind of dangerous or stressful situation…  Perhaps a Marine son at some point…  ;-}

*  I used this file –

 

*  I printed the verse on cream parchment and adhered it inside the card.

*  I cut an opening in the front of the card.  I ripped and inked some pieces of corrugated cardboard from a box.  I ripped a remnant of woven wallpaper.  I threaded three wooden buttons with a heavy twine.  These pieces were all adhered with a glue gun.  I inked around all of the edges.

*  I know this sounds easy – cut-and-dried – but it’s amazing how designing, finding, fixing and creating can take more time than expected.  That, coupled with some major Technical Difficulties this week, made for some Challenges.   I do love a Challenge and it was fun to make something not-so-delicate-and-feminine.  ‘Delicate-and-feminine’ is my usual M.O.!
