I pulled out two of the stamps in my sell pile for this card. Honestly, I don't think I can EVER get rid of any stamps, because the most unlikely ones become "must haves" for challenges!! : ) I sponged my background on watercolor paper over my embossed sentiment, then removed my moon/sun mask and added my eagle, embossing it as well. Then I spritzed my paper with water and let it dry before putting my card together.

Wow! This is fabulous. You better keep this stamp! It looks great with the sponged background. Your sponging is amazing. The sun/moon is nice and the eagle over it is just the right touch. Love, love the verse! This card is outstanding and yet it would be still easy to mail with no extra postage. Thanks for sharing and caring by participating in HYCCT and my challenge today.

Tricia,
Love it when a sentiment takes center stage on such a beautiful bg. And this one is glorious and so are the colors. That was a clever idea to add the eagle!!

A very attractive card. I kinda got mesmerized by the background. You did that so well and then the bird and the sentiment and, well everything. Love this card.
