Psalm 118:24

The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread.  I used one of the dies from Spellbinders Majestic Elements, paired with a regular oval.  The floral panel die is by Tattered Lace, with some gold glitter added.  The ribbon is edged in metallic gold, and the last strip is narrow rick-rack. The soft blue bg is embossed with Swiss dots.

Another spring

Here is a second version of a card using ODB Birthday Blessings.  I like the colors better, and I will use it for a birthday card.  IRL the bg is a dusty pink, and the embossed strips are lavender, as is the bit of lace.  THe image is colored with Prismas and Spica pens - the Spicas add a nice touch of shine  I added stickles to the points on the circle and the stripes on the watering can.  I hope this works for the "water" challenge - this time, it is all IN the can LOL!  Maybe the bg embossing will remind you of some rather large raindrops!
