My card was inspired by Anita Bowden's card at the Muse. I loved her design and especially the background she created.
I decided to try a new technique I learned about on Lin's Craft Corner in this post. Not long after seeing Gina K's video of the technique on Stamp TV I enjoyed seeing more beautiful cards created using this technique from Verna on VA's Creative Clutter blog. Please follow the links to see these two Blogland friend's great cards.
I created several different panels using three different embossing folders. I colored each one a little bit different.
This one I colored to match the pretty color challenge at ColourQ.
I simply cut my square panel using my dies from Lil Inkers and attached it to my card. Then I stamped my sentiment and added the die cuts! easy peasy. I also used scraps from the colorful panel and added them to the inside of each card. They were cut with a border die also from Lil Inkers.
We are not enjoying our weather in the Black Hills this weekend. It is currently "drizzling" a fine mist of snow LOL but sunny skies are predicted for later in the week and we need the precipitation so I will just snuggle in and enjoy soft lighting while I craft! : )
Thank you all so much for the help with my Wink of Stella question yesterday! I think I will stick with this product - flaws and all - for a while longer because I just love the soft glitter it leaves. : )
Have a great weekend!

LOVE your cards Patti! I learned songs to these scriptures when our daughters were growing up, so as soon as I start reading, my mind starts singing the songs! :D
Thank you!
Beautiful cards Patti! The backgrounds are fabulous! Is that the technique done using wax paper oIn your embossing folder? I was thinking I wanted to give that a try. So glad to you figured out your wink of Stella from your previous post. Stay warm and keep crafting.
Oooh these are gorgeous Patti ... off to check out that link to see how you did it.
Hope your grass comes peeping through the snow soon ;)
Oh boy are these ever pretty!! Your backgrounds look great and I love that you added some of it to the inside!
Looks like you're well set up for a few more cards with these gorgeous backgrounds! So glad you joined us at Muse this week!
I absolutely love your card and that beautiful verse you chose to use on it. And, I can see you enjoyed making those backgrounds too. I know I sure did.
Oh wow, Patti ... these backgrounds are stunning ... such beautiful verses you used with them ... and I LOVE the crisp white die cuts ... they really pop! Anita :)
Beautiful work, Patti. Those backgrounds are gorgeous. Will be saving this post to check out the links you shared. We had a snowy weekend as well. Hope the promised near 80 degree day later in the week will make up for it. :)
This is also one of my favorite verses; loved the story about your daughter! And what a trio of beautiful cards. This technique is a knock-out, and I might have to try it, though mine won't look as pretty as these do! Great take for the Muse too!! And I love the papers peeking from the inside too. Gorgeous! Happy Monday. Bev
Pretty backgrounds I need to run over to check it out. Our kids keep us laughing and crying don't they.. I loved "GT and the Halo Express" myself.. sing those verses..
These are all so pretty!
Wow, such gorgeous backgrounds! Love the first one, so pretty against the crisp white. So happy I could inspire you to play along at Muse this week, Anita x
Wow, fantastic design. Love the inside peeking out!
Beautiful CAS cards. The prettiest of colours, fabulous technique and perfect verse and sentiment. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards with us x
Gorgeous, gorgeous cards! I love the paper technique you used and the sentiments as well.
These are gorgeous!
Your background papers are simply gorgeous and really make incredible cards, just love them all. Thanks so much for playing along with us at ColourQ!
Each of these cards is soft, beautiful and extremely peaceful and uplifting!! Love them and I am such a big fan of yours!! Have a wonderful Sabbath day!!
OH, Patti, your cards are simply beautiful. I love the backgrounds you created for each one.
Proverbs 3:5 is also one of my favorite verses. Love your fun story.
