This is for the Featured Stamper challenge to honor Claudia. I looked through her gallery this morning so after church I could come home and make a card. It's a cool winter day in the Midwest with the sun shining and very pretty. When we bought our property there was an old barn on it that looks much like the one in this stamp. My husband works on it each year to preserve it. It's over 100 years old and so pretty. I found this lovely card in Claudia's gallery. Sunset on the Farm by cjzim at Splitcoaststampers
This card says inside " You are such a blessing in my life." I am sending it to my preacher and his wife because they truly are a blessing in my life.
So glad you are being honored today Claudia. Your gallery is very inspirational.
Thanks for the challenge and those of you who look. I will be back later this evening to leave comments on your cards.

What a beautiful sunset on your card, and a great way to honor Claudia and her gallery. You captured the sky, just before it slips into darkness. Love this image, and find it very edifying that your DH works to keep the old barn on your property preserved - what a labor of love!!
This card will surely be treasured by your pastor and his wife ! Hugs!

That is such a beautiful image with the old time windmill. How fortunate you and your husband are to have property with a treasure like that old barn on it! Thank you for playing along today ~ it is an honor!

What a lovely card for such a great reason. First, your old barn would be an artistic inspirtion constantly...I would have a gallery full of barn images. This card has such a calm feel...perfect for a card to thank your preacher. Lovely colors and the perfect image.
