Then I remembered this pen from Letters to Friends, an old StampinUp vintage set that I simply can't part with, even if it's vintage. You see, I used to collect fountain pens and still use them occasionally when I think to put ink in them.
So I settled on this very simple layout using softer colors for the pen and crisp black for the sentiment.
We are each of us inscribed on the palm of his hand. Which is rather a comforting thought, don't you think?

Yes, it is comforting, Susan to know our lives are in God's hands. Your wonderful cards have me wishing for a hobby lobby in my green state...I would have picked that sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteI really like this pen image - so elegant. Wonderful verse too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful cards. Love the sentiment and, yes, being God's own brings me much comfort.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, and thank you for the reminder! It truly is a comfort.
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are wonderful but this is truly amazing! To pair this old fountain pen with the verse is inspired, then the layout with the pen on the first line. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Beautiful sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful card...and being a calligrapher I love that stamp so going to do a search for it right now! I do have a stamp of a pen similar to yours....and I've stamps of quills too....lovely cards....thanks and so agree with your spiritual sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a comforting thought.
ReplyDeleteAlthough they are all lovely cards, I like the soft, soothingness (is that even a word??) of the blue the best.
Lovely card. It would be so simple to make a set with these since it's different each time the pen ink color is changed.
ReplyDeleteLove the cards. The verse stamped on the pen is inspired!
ReplyDeleteLove that verse and yes, it is comforting to know that we're inscribed on the palm of his hand. I probably wouldn't have bought that stamp, simply because I couldn't have figured out how to use it on a card...but your card is perfect! I love the pen stamp and it's perfect with the sentiment! Awesome card, Susan.
ReplyDeletethese are brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteVery clever to pair it with the pen! LOVE it! And I LOVE the fact God doesnt ever erase us :D
ReplyDelete(Got that from Charles Stanley Eternal Security love that book!!!)
Brilliant pairing of stamps, Susan! That sentiment is VERY comforting, indeed!
ReplyDeleteA very comforting thought. A perfect card. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment is indeed comforting. I love your pairing it with the vintage pen. I also love fountain pens and use my favorite occasionally.
ReplyDeleteSuper cards! Love the lay-out and the vintage pen with that sentiment. Perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteYes. i don't usually comment although i love your cards! but i had to on this one because it is one of my favorite verses! love the pen and love the verse and love your cards!

C'mon, you wouldn't part with a stamp set just because it's not the latest thing out there, would you? ;) Not when you can use it to create great cards such as these, anyway...
ReplyDeletePerfect pairing of image and sentiment and indeed a lovely verse to ponder on.
ReplyDeleteLove these cards! The sentiment goes well with the image and is indeed a comfort, when I take the time to remember it and allow that truth to sink in!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I love these cards....Perfect in every way....and the life-changing verse you added!
ReplyDeleteI like the pairing very much.
ReplyDeleteI have that scripture verse stamp too! I often use it inside cards, because I'm not sure what to pair it with. I'm going to have to look at all my stamp sets now, to see if there's something that I never saw as appropriate...
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I had a Hobby Lobby!! I want this sentiment!! I have been wanting to add to my scripture stash and this would be PERFECT!!
ReplyDeletewow, great card, those stamps look like they were meant to be together.
ReplyDeleteI also have a small fountain pen collection and the Stampin Sisters in Christ blog had Vintage as their challenge this week. I haven't been in to stamp a card yet but this is the stamp that came to my mind. Thanks for sharing it with this wonderful verse.
