Thoughts About Forgiveness . . .

The moment I first saw this quote, I knew that I wanted to have it hanging somewhere special in my home. The orange dot Pink Paislee paper that I used here from the April 2009 Just Cre8 kit was just the right colour to be displayed in my upstairs hall, so I decided that I just had to use it to create this canvas. The quote says "To forgive is to set a prisoner free, and discover that the prisoner was you." Wow! Finding this quote was so timely for me; I just found it so moving. I thought the little Scenic Route bird evoked the feeling of freedom. After layering on some patterned paper and then sanding and inking it, I rubbed Stickles on the bird. I picked up the flowers at our local $ store. I'm so happy with how this wall hanging turned out.

There are more details on the techniques I used on this canvas, as well as a zoomed in photo, in the Just Cre8 gallery here. I have a few more layouts to post with Just Cre8's April kit before I give you a little peek at May, so check back soon! ;-}

For those celebrating Easter this weekend, I wish you a blessed weekend spent surrounded by those you love.

Then Jesus said "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."
