What a difference a day makes...

Tuesday saw the new Cue card over at CASology. "Free", not as in 'anything goes' for submissions, rather, what does free mean to each of us. My first (and really, only) thought was the freedom that Christ gives us. We are free from sin and guilt, pain and death, free from the power of hell. This gift was freely given, just because he loves us. His life for mine. That concept is nearly incomprehensible to me. But if I think about it in the most simple terms, I can at least grab hold of it. Christ made me free with his death and resurrection. So that's what I think of when I think of "free". Other sorts of freedom are important, but for me, this is what stands out most of all under the term 'free'.

But how to make a card which represents what I feel? Empty tomb? White cloth on an empty cross? "Jesus rays" coming out of clouds? So I mulled this over yesterday, in between trying to come up with a better card for the Muse challenge. Then this morning, one gigantic PING. Everything gelled, everything worked, the whole card just put itself together!

See what you think of my concept:

Here's what I used: 

Bazzill gray for the base, onto which I printed a computer generated font for the sentiment, white Bazzill for the fussy cut dove, and I used an Avery Elle stamp for the 'light' coming from behind the dove. I fussy cut a mask, stamped with Color Box yellow ink, removed the mask and then used pop dots on the final dove. Very easy. Happy dances everyone.
