This is for two challenges: Way to Use it to use feet or toes and Free 4 All to represent wood. This stamp has the closing of the renowned Footprints poem. If you're not familiar with it: a man has a dream in which he's walking on the beach with the Lord and scenes of his life flash before him. Each scene shows two sets of footprints and he knows the Lord God has with him, and then he sees only one set of footprints in one of the most difficult time of his life. He asked the Lord why He left and the answer is on the stamp. I'm sending this card and a copy of the poem to a friend who will be having a difficult surgery. The Serene Scenery paper has this wonderful print that looks wood you might would find at the beach after it's been weathered by the elements. It's a perfect backdrop to this stamp. I kept it simple to make it masculine. Great challenges that worked well together for me today! Thanks for looking!

This takes my breath away - totally awesome in so many ways! Love the sentiment, the way you colored it, the background, ALL of it works perfectly together. As a dear friend would say, "This one's a framer!" Worthy of being framed....and it is! TFS
