Good morning!
The photo below is the inspiration for this week's challenge.
ODBD dies used: Sunburst Background, Elegant Oval
My card today is an easel card. I started with the new sunburst background die and embossing plate and a yellow panel of textured cardstock then I sponged on more color. I then stamped, colored and fussy cut the mountain with eagle soaring. Whatever edge that was left I colored to match the background. Next I stamped, colored and cut out the large patriotic eagle. I colored in the stars since I wasn't going for the red, what and blue today. Finally, I stamped the scripture from a Good Man set, die cut with the elegant oval and sponged the edges. After everything was colored and cut out, I made the easel card and glued my main image to the top of the sunburst then glued that to the top of the card. The inside is popped up so the it acts like a catch to keep the card in the open easel position. I also added 3 decorative brads to help hold the card open. When not displayed it folds to a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2, A2 card size.

Is. 40:31
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
28-29
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
God is our source, He is our shield and defense. He gives us strength.
Have a great week,
Robin
