I had a hard time choosing! One of my favourites is Sing to the Lord...but I also really like Grow in Grace because of the beautiful verses, and the flower is so unique and great to color. So I decided to go with this design...
There's something so cheerful about yellows, and this Basic Grey Origins paper is full of fun rich colors. I colored the flowers and leaves with copic markers, and cut them out with my brand new, way cool Nestability shape (Labels 13). I added the wavy border punch on the top section offsetting the black and designer paper to make it feel more wavy. A little ornare piercing finishes off the bottom too.
