This is one of my favorite Bible verses.
You see I have a terrible time memorizing things.
When I need to keep from giving in to a bad habit,
I try to remember this in perfect order.
By the time I have to look it up, I've forgotten about that bad habit.
For the time being.....
I like to keep the verse handy so I can find it quickly and easily.
When I quit smoking, I carried it in my pocket for months.
I'll share this card at One Layer Simplicity where I haven't played in ages.
The challenge this month is art.
I used watercolor as my art medium.
I painted another and matted this one.
Just Us Girls Challenge

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Bonnie. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring on that amazing pear! I love how you stamped the Bible verse over the top of it and the splatters/speckles finish this off beautifully. Thanks for playing with us at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous watercolouring ... and an amazing verse. That's a great idea to carry it with you or always have it at arms reach. Very inspiring ... as are you, my friend. xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card in looks and it's meaning....So very beautiful and artsy too. Glorious sentiment and I thank you so much for sharing x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty water color card!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge lover of pears. As for bible verses, there are many that I could call my favorites. This is one of them. Both cards are great.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings,

Two stunning cards Bonnie - but I personally like the un-matted one the better of the two. I know what you mean about memorizing scripture correctly!!

Oh, I love that verse too Bonnie. Your watercolored pear looks fabulous on both cards.
ReplyDeleteBoy - that is a lot to have in one pear!!! Can I just concentrate on one trait at a time.
ReplyDeleteYour pear is beautiful!

Love both versions. Great shading on the pear and the splatters complement it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to quit smoking. That's a great verse to help inspire you.
Bonnie, both versions of your card are fabulous! What a beautiful job you did painting it and the verse- the words are SO perfect to live by!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous. I like both stunning versions. My heart is happy.
ReplyDeleteTwo more very pretty cards. One of my favorite verses as well, but I don't remember it all ever either.

ReplyDeleteBonnie, this is one of my favorite verses as well...so very useful and helpful for getting through life making wiser, spirit-filled choices. Both cards are lovely, but YOU KNOW I love the one-layer one especially. The subtle score lines add a lovely frame, and the speckling is perfect. Thanks for sharing this with the One-Layer Simplicity challenge!
