You rule over the surging sea!

Hello everyone!

Here in Florida, hurricanes have dominated much of everyday life for the last week or two!  First Helene and now Milton.  So when it was time to stamp, I was thinking of the developing storm, the turbulent ocean, and so many of my fellow Floridians storm prepping, putting up storm shutters, gathering the supplies they will need as they "hunker down!"  Food, water, wine, flashlights, batteries and chargers, power failure entertainment, etc.  So here's the card I came up with, because I am praying that He will indeed still the storm (lessen the wind speed, the rain, and the surge)!

This is just a standard top-folding card with a portion of the card front cut away so that the papers on the inside can show through.   LOVE Love love the new paper pad from Craft Consortium and how it works so well with their earlier designs.  Here it is paired with Beach Hut.   

Here's the inside with the half-front flipped out of the way to reveal the scripture inside.  I love these passages of scripture and added the background stamp with a verse from Psalms which is along the same theme.  

Supplies:

• Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - He Stilled the Storm
• Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - He is the Light Bundle
• Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Background Stamp 1 
• Spellbinders Nestabilities - Standard Circles SM
• Spellbinders Nestabilities - Standard Circles LG
• Craft Consortium Test of Time 6x6
• Craft Consortium Beach Hut 6x6
• May Arts 1" Grosgrain w/Satin Edge - 30 Yard Spool - Turquoise
• May Arts 1/16" Jute Burlap Cord Sampler - 24 yards (I used cotton cording)
• Memento Full Size Dye Ink Pad - Espresso Truffle
• Kaisercraft Self-Adhesive Round Pearls - Latte
• Copic markers
• diluted white acrylic paint for "splashy wave" splatters

I hope you will please continue to pray for all of the folks in the path of Helene and now also Milton.  This is a big scary storm so here in northeast Florida we are hoping to stay safe and sound as the storm makes its way from west to east across our state.  Also hoping to emerge on the other side healthy and whole, without major damage to life, limb, or possessions.  Definitely praying for all of the folks further south throughout  the Florida peninsula.  Sharing so much gratitude for all of the first responders, linemen, and all of the people behind the scenes who do all of the necessary things to keep things running smoothly.  Y'all are amazing!
