". . .whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."
Matthew 20:26b-28
Dear Jesus, forgive me for having this turned upside down, for trying to put myself first. I want to serve because You serve. I love You. So teach me to serve. Teach me to give my life for the ones You've given me to serve. You have been the Ransom once and for all. But perhaps the ransom I will give is my time, or my pride, or some luxury to show someone else Your love. Whatever it is, it's Yours. Just show me what to do.
Apply your heart to instructions, and your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12
The Bible in One Year

· 2 Timothy 3
When I first saw this stamp set my imagination immediately went to beautiful Dutch Delftware. I can see it in reds and yellows as well as this Pacific Point Blue.

Supplies:
Day of Gratitude stamp set 120835 (wood) 121148 (clear) Holiday Mini pg.13
Sahara Sand cardstock 121043 Idea Book and Catalog (IBC) pg. 169
Blueberry Crisp DSP 117392 IBC pg. 174

VersaMark ink 102283 IBC pg. 195

Antique Brads 117273 IBC pg. 187
Base card stock is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". Piece 1 1/2" x 5 1/4"strips of Blueberry Crisp DSP to create a mat that measures 4" x 5 1/4", cover seams with Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon folding ends under; then adhere to Sahara Sand card base. Ink up your image first into Versamark ink then into Pacific Point ink. Stamp onto a Sahara Sand scrap, cover with Clear embossing powder, heat set then cut out. Here's an important TIP: Clean yourstamp between images if you are making more than one card or your Versamark pad will look like this! Now I have two Versamark stamp pads, one for these sort of projects and the other for unmessy projects.
Make a hole in the center of your "flower", add a vintage brad and adhere to card with Stampin'Dimensionals. A bit blurry, but the embossing creates such a lovely effect.
The chilly days of autumn and the coming winter are upon us here in New Mexico. Today is a sunny day, but I am glad for my warm fireplace and that my hubby turned on the boiler so the radiant heated floors keep my toes warm. Hope your day is lovely in your part of the world.
