Be Strong

Today I'm posting with the Design Team for Word Art Wednesday as we share the new scripture from 2 Timothy 2:1 in challenge 702-703.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Taylored Expressions, so be sure to enter your cards on the Word Art Wednesday challenge for your chance to win their prize! 

 For today's scripture I wanted to use a masculine image. I selected this cowboy silhouette die from my stash and die cut him with black cardstock.  

For the background I used a thick watercolor paper and distressed oxides to mix various shades until I had a sunset background and a water/grassy area in the center.  Then I secured the die cut cowboy over that area.  

The scripture from 2 Timothy is free on the challenge by simply right clicking and saving to your computer files.  I sized the verse down to fit my card space and used a Spellbinder die cut then mounted in the corner. 

I matted with the coordinating plum cardstock and then secured to a black card base.  For the finishing touch I added a gold twine rope around the top fold and tied in a bow. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:
