Kind Words Are Like Honey, Sweet To the Soul

I'm honored this month to be the guest designer at FARM QUEST HOMESTYLE KITCHEN.

The theme is anything that is found in a kitchen, dining room, pantry...

I created a card with a sweet pot of honey ! And just look at that cute bumblebee !

This quote is referencing the verse of Proverbs 16:24
"Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."

All the papers are cardstock from Michaels. Distressing ink is Ranger.

My Kind Words Are Like Honey card can be found at Cricut Design Space.
