In John 16:33, Jesus says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." This digital image from Limited Runs brought this verse to my mind. We will have adversity, and we must be prepared to stand against the evil that would keep our light from shining. Just as this cute little bug has donned his "armor" in order to survive and shine, so we must put on the armor that is described for us in Ephesians 6:10-18. When we put on the belt of Truth, the breastplate of Righteousness, the gospel of Peace, the shield of Faith, the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, then we can stand against the trouble in this world and let our light shine!
So I set out to use this unusual image in a unique way! I colored the image with Copic Markers. I layered the mask and the globe balls for dimension then glittered them with yellow stickles. I cut the image out with a stitched oval die. I used Gorgeous Grunge and Distress Ink to create the splats and splatters on the yellow background paper. I mounted the image with mounting tape. I printed the sentiment and also used mounting tape on it. I added some Washi Tape at the bottom and mounted it on a grey cardstock base. I'm putting John 16:33 on the inside of the card.
I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this unique image! This card is entered in the following challenges:

Hi Deanna, what a cute bug you've used for your card! The splatters on the yellow background really add a lot of texture as does the Washi tape strips at the bottom of your card. Love the stitched oval on which you've stamped that bug and the way you've coloured him with your Copics. Perfect sentiment! Thanks so much for joining in with our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
