Eva's card ~ Versamark With Chalks + Snippety card

Hullo there everyone!
Here is a card made for a friend some time back now... my friend had just received the diagnosis for her thyroid cancer and was not good stage - however with prayer, and faith in our merciful God, we are very hopeful for her. She isn't that old, with young family too.
 The verse is:
"My heart and flesh faileth BUT God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever."
Amen, what treasure that is!
Martha Stewart deep edger daisy punch and Word Art Wednesday verse, with Marianne rectangle die and the versamark background + Panpastel/ chalk method as shown on this post here - love it! 
Memory Box leaf swirl, and flowers from the Ribbon Girl in UK, dont use them often enough mainly because they dont post well but this was hand delivered. Also used a heart hat pin, I always hide the pointy sharp tip end of these well under card, as hate the thought of someone being pricked by them.
This card was all snippets. I had embossed the purple card as test run with new Embossabilities folder ages ago new - and the dies *flowers, *vase and *"hi" were test cut out with my Olivia cuttlebug alphabet set, a few years ago now. Unfortunately as I had to send it quickly, I took the photo at night in hurry. It does not look as pretty mauve in colour of real life. Added pearls to adorn flowers and dot of the "hi".
* I added double-sided tape to all these fine cut items prior to cutting them, to easily attach  and surprisingly was fine although floating around for years in snippety drawer.

Nice and brief today - thanks so much for popping over for a peek and chat..

    What an awesome card to let your friend know you have her in prayer & thoughts. Loved how you used the MS deep edge punch. Great Marianne die too, and your flowers & chalk background were just lovely. I'm liking this lavender one too, with the vase & posies. A perfect card to just say Hi to a friend or loved one. So nice to see your visits today. Hope it means you have gotten all rested up, and ready to get back in the blogging groove again. Hope to see ya in the Playground if I can get some things finished! TFS & hugs. Also thanks for the visits as well.

    Oh Shaz, that first scripture card just knocked my socks off! It's so soft, elegant and gorgeous. Your art is always such a blessing to me, and I enjoy seeing God's Word made into such gorgeous art. You and your creativity are such a blessing to me. Your kind comments always brighten my day, and I pray that God will bless you for being such a blessing in my life. Thanks for being you!
    God bless you always!
