Word Art Wednesday and 9 day before Christmas, freebies.

Where is the time going??  Maybe part of the reason it seems like it couldn't be any later than September is because it is so warm here in South West Texas!  AC on in the day and warm breezes at night!  I know I talk about the weather a lot, living in a different temperature zone just fascinates me!
Regardless of what the temperature is, It's still Word Art Wednesday's 214th challenge and the last challenge for 2015!

Here is this weeks' verse crafted by Karen Murray

I added it to this image ( you can right click and save)

Here's my finished card:

If you are interested here is how I made it:

I combined the sentiment ( right click and save) and the image in Microsoft publisher.  You can also use Word, but for the purpose of creating something I can share with you I used publisher.

I printed it on a lightweight watercolor paper.

I used quite a lot of Tim Holtz Walnut distress ink on the edges

I also inked teh back of the two corners I planed on rolling:

rolled and inked some more

I also inked the background paper

this gave it a very vintage look.  I picked out a background layer

and distressed that to!

glued it altogether, tied a gold filament embroidery ribbon

mounted on a 5x7 110# based and the card is finished! 

I hope you stop by Word Art Wednesday, read Karen Letchworth's devotion make a card and enter in teh challenge!  Have a great week and God Bless!
