SSIC LOC Cherished Peace

This week Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge is brought to us by our very own Miesje.


The scripture Miesje has chosen for this week is

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid."  John 14:27


Use a Christian symbol of peace somewhere in your card. There are many! Or a card or project that shows or shares Peace.

I have made another Side Stair/Step card - can anyone give me the right name for this and I will change it here!  I do love this style of card, it makes them so interesting!!


I used the Layers of Colour Merci Bouquet Clear Art Stamps  for two panels on this.  they have been coloured with SU Chalks


The sentiment is from a SU Set called Lexicon of Love - this is such a great set (thanks Ann!)  I love being able to use two colours with it!


For this panel I have used the Layers of Color Merci Bouquet and Her Majesty's Urns Clear Art Stamps, they have also been coloured with SU Chalks
When I think of peace, I immediately think of the garden - I love to wander through it and immediately the beauty of the Creator and His creation brings peace to my heart!  Peace is something that we all long for at one time or another in our lives - it would be wonderful to always have it, but life can bring us circumstances that can cause our peace to 'fly out of the window!!

The peace of God is not dependant on circumstances, infact it can be ours even in the most tumultuous times...when those around us are folding under the pressure of life, we can have the assurance of the peace that passes understanding!'

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Php 4:7

  7. The card is beautiful Linda. I always thought it was called side step, but now you've got me wondering and I'm going to have to do some searching.!! If it wasn't so late I'd duck down stairs and start another one. You are very inspiring.

  11. Beautiful beautiful card, Linda! And beautiful words, too. It's when life is tumultuous that it's most important to cling to God's promises so that we can know that peace.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

  13. I LOVE that verse from Phillipians, it is one of my favorites, I almost quoted it too, but its good that you did, each blog brings a fresh and different perspective to the hostess' selected verse, what a blessing! As is your card, a blessing for the eyes, a pleasure to see.
