I was excited to see that this month's Dreamweaver's challenge was a CAS one, I can definitely do CAS!
For whatever reason when it comes to Dreamweaver's stencils I tend to gravitate towards the backgrounds. I really love how intricate they are, but sometimes you don't want to cover your entire piece with a stencil.
For this card I cut a 3x3 piece of mixed media paper and painted it with a Distress Paint. Once dry, I placed the Waves background over the panel and applied paste. So easy! I painted a second slightly larger square to serve as a mat, and used a Verve Plain Jane for the sentiment. I kind of love the combination of the waves and the verse as it reminds me of when Jesus commanded the storm to be still.
A little bit of jute cord finished this off.
This is one of those cards that was just a joy to put together. Hope that you love it too!

Beautiful card, beautiful sentiment, Miriam. The twine looks like rope which ties in with the ocean feel of your card. Good to know that lovely sentiment is a "Plain Jane." I'll be giving them a look over!
