Stormy Weather

And now it's time for a bright and cheerful card!  Okay, no, that was my last post.  This one is, well, pensive, I guess.

  Unfortunately the weather outside reflects this card, so the picture is a little darker than I'd like.  I made a cloud mask by welding several clouds together on my silhouette.  I used Ranger Distress Ink Black Soot and Old Paper for the clouds.  The background paper is Bazzill.  I white embossed the "root" of the flower with two stamps from the Inkadinkado Dot Flourishes set, then added gems from Michaels.  I printed out the sentiment on Word and free cut the flower.
This card is entered in the following challenges:


Stampin' Sisters in Christ: Challenge #137 - Jeremiah 17:8 - Something planted or the color green

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great day.
