Scripture Series: Come Boldly to the Throne Center Step Card---Another Inspirational Challenge at Word Art Wednesday...

Hi there, Crafters all over the world!  It's Wednesday and what else could be exciting but to find new inspirations for our creativity.  We have a great Challenge waiting for you at Word Art Wednesday and we start by giving away a free Word Art that you can use in your projects. If you chose to play with us and link your creations, you get a chance to win a prize by next week. Awesome, right?  Now, we always play Anything Goes so, if you have other inspiring sentiments in your projects and don't want to use the free Word Art, you can still join the fun.  

For my DT card, I have created this heartfelt  Center Step Card featuring the free Word Art.  I felt that this is the best image I can attach to the wonderful scripture message this week.  This cute digi is from Mo Manning Collection and is called "John Praying."    I colored him and his Teddy with my ProMarker/Prismacolor/Spectrum Noir markers.  My DP's are 2 from Martha Stewart and 2 from K & Company including the flowers that were cut-up from the DP.  My card base is a 5.5" Kraft CS...Other CS are Aqua Green, Dk. Brown and more Kraft.  I added some Nestabilities "Lacey Circles "die-cuts" utilizing 2 of the biggest in the set.  For added dimension, I attached several brads and brown "Hotfix" gems and bring them altogether with some stitching.  Finished size was more or less 6.5" (square).   I honestly love how this turned out.  This was my first attempt making a Center Step Card although I had the template for a couple of years now.  I did the Side-step, the Step Card but not this one...All I know is that I was so inspired by the image and the message that I had to take on a new card design and bring the best in this creation.  Thank you, Lord Jesus, for you are my true inspiration. This Card is entered into the following Challenges:

So, here in the United States, we are currently holding our Presidential election (early voting on-going till the 2nd of November) which culminates on election day, November 6.  This will be my first time to vote for a President of this country since I became a citizen a few years ago.  I value this opportunity knowing that many people don't have the same privilege in other countries.  I also believe that this election is a significant one.  I believe our choices will determine the course of this country and since I care for the future of my kid and future grand kids and the generations following,  I am not taking God's Word for granted.   I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat.  I am, however, a CHRISTocrat!  I believe Jesus Christ is the Only One who has the power to save this country and anybody who put his/her trust in Him will find great comfort from  the Only One in Whom all blessings flow.  I vote for the God of the Scriptures, not just any opinions of man.  So, the Word Art I shared with you in this post tells me to come  BOLDLY (with confidence---having been washed clean by the blood of the Lamb) to the throne of God Almighty through His Son, Jesus Christ.  For there, I can expect forgiveness and mercy, comfort and peace even in times of chaos and uncertainties.  This is the time to pray and intercede in behalf of our country.  The Bible says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)...No matter what happens, Jesus is our Only Hope!  I am voting this week, hope you do the same...God bless!
