Lacy Bloom card

I loved making this card. The blooms stamp and die are easy to use to make multiple stamps at once, and the coloring with chalk ink and stamp paint is fun and quick. The stamps, die and paper are from Heartfelt Creations. But the relaxing part is also shaping the blossoms and putting it together. It’s a fun moment when it became a flower!

I also feel a connection to Psalm 46.  A translation of the Hebrew text (click here for the source) is below the card photo. Thanks!

Psalms Chapter 46 תְּהִלִּים

א  לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי-קֹרַח–    עַל-עֲלָמוֹת שִׁיר. 1 For the Leader; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song.
ב  אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ, מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז;    עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת, נִמְצָא מְאֹד. 2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
ג  עַל-כֵּן לֹא-נִירָא, בְּהָמִיר אָרֶץ;    וּבְמוֹט הָרִים, בְּלֵב יַמִּים. 3 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;
ד  יֶהֱמוּ יֶחְמְרוּ מֵימָיו;    יִרְעֲשׁוּ הָרִים בְּגַאֲוָתוֹ סֶלָה. 4 Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. Selah
ה  נָהָר–פְּלָגָיו, יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר-אֱלֹהִים;    קְדֹשׁ, מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיוֹן. 5 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
ו  אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ, בַּל-תִּמּוֹט;    יַעְזְרֶהָ אֱלֹהִים, לִפְנוֹת בֹּקֶר. 6 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.
ז  הָמוּ גוֹיִם, מָטוּ מַמְלָכוֹת;    נָתַן בְּקוֹלוֹ, תָּמוּג אָרֶץ. 7 Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
ח  יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ;    מִשְׂגָּב-לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה. 8 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah
ט  לְכוּ-חֲזוּ, מִפְעֲלוֹת יְהוָה–    אֲשֶׁר-שָׂם שַׁמּוֹת בָּאָרֶץ. 9 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
י  מַשְׁבִּית מִלְחָמוֹת,    עַד-קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ:
קֶשֶׁת יְשַׁבֵּר, וְקִצֵּץ חֲנִית;    עֲגָלוֹת, יִשְׂרֹף בָּאֵשׁ.
10 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; {N}
He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
יא  הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ, כִּי-אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים;    אָרוּם בַּגּוֹיִם, אָרוּם בָּאָרֶץ. 11 ‘Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’
יב  יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ;    מִשְׂגָּב-לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה. 12 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah {P}
