Blessed

With this card, I'm playing along with the Verve Diva Dare Challenge.  The inspiration photo is fabulous and I was definitely inspired.
I love the brick wall, and I got a brick stencil for Christmas that I hadn't gotten to play with yet.  This was the perfect time to break it out.
I also went with the flowers and the chalkboard art on the wall.  So many great elements in that photo.

Challenges:
Viva La Verve Sketches--sketch

Word Art Wednesday #220--anything goes with uplifting sentiment
Eureka Stamps #181--bingo (I used die cuts, embossing, flowers)
Tuesday Throwdown #282--create your background (I stencilled the brick and stamped the main panel)
Creative Craft Cottage #58--pearls and/or lace
Addicted to Stamps #182--make your mark (using ink)
Penny's Paper Challenge #266--anything goes
Crafty Gals #60--anything goes
Inspiration Destination #74--anything goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge--anything goes
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday--anything goes
Cute Card Thursday #414--florals

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Surely Goodness" flowers and "Be Blessed" sentiment
Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle and large banner; Verve "Flag it" (I trimmed the banners to make them more narrow and shorter); PTI "Rustic Wreath"
MFT "Mini brick wall" stencil
