Hello, dear friends. Like many of you, I have far too many stamps and supplies. I admit that this is the first time I've used this stamp...yes, hanging my head in shame! Haha! But I finally used it, and now it's no longer feeling unloved. I had fun masking and stamping a border of these flowers around the Scripture verse. This is about as "fall-like" as I can get here in sunny and warm South Florida - ha! I decided that a black mat looked nice and ended up rounding two of the corners to add some interest. The best part of making this card was coloring, and I need to color more...my favorite part of making cards. Stamping and coloring has to be relaxing for me. Otherwise, it's no fun. So today, I am going to work on another card - and color!
Thank you taking a closer look, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! Sending you all big hugs, dear friends!

I could look at your coloring all day, Cheryl! I can't get over that you like to mask too! I tend to avoid it like the plague! But Wow, what a great effect, framing your verse so beautifully!

This is just stunningly beautiful. Gorgeous azaleas. My azaleas have just finished flowering now - pity its for such a short time. I have to agree with you - sitting colouring is such a relaxing pass time. One minute you are colouring away - and suddenly a couple of hours have passed in total bliss. Spending this afternoon colouring images for Christmas Cards. I intend to start earlier next year - like January!! he he
