MSP4 - Misti Monday – Holiday Happiness – use layering stamps. It’s past the holidays, but it’s still happiness to use my Misti. I ordered Altenew’s Build A Rose stamp set with coordinating dies on Black Friday and wanted to use it for this challenge. I was intimidated by it, with so many layers. Today, I tried out the rose, and I’m going to need more practice with five steps building from light to dark colors. The leaves have three steps and definitely less daunting. Cut them out with coordinating die. At first, I tried stamping with an acrylic block to see the difference, but that didn’t work well, especially trying to do more than one. Then I used my Misti and that was happiness! If you don’t get a good impression, no problem; if it’s not as dark as you want; no problem, if you want to make more than one, (you guess it!), no problem.
WT669 – New item – Altenew Build a Rose stamp set & dies – thanks for the “nudge” to finally use these
F4A411 - Free 4 All Challenge – Use stripes – retired DSP
DD8ABC14N - Alphabet Challenge – Letter N – Nightingale bird – often heard singing at Night and is known for its beautiful & powerful song – thus the music background, verse with N words (never, nor, not)
Personal goal 2018 – use up left-overs – pre-stamped image, retired paper – stripes & red, piece of doily
Thanks for looking!

Wow amazing sis. You know I was just mentioning this sentiment to a friend that is going through something and I also was trying to put together a card for my BRI and this very sentiment is what was in my head for him then I open your card and here is that sentiment. Love it.
This would have been a perfect sentiment for Lam but I don’t have a stamp or putter to create one so I’ll probaly write it out on the inside .

What a really lovely card this is Diane! It is fun to read how much fun you are having with your MISTI tool, and you sure put it to good use on this card. The leaves look amazing framing this gorgeous bird image. I love the doily, the dainty red bow, and your wonderful sentiment. I can hardly wait to see what you do next with that rose set. Fun! ~Karen.
This is stunning! I have said this to myself over and over the last 5 weeks as I get my bearings again. Thanks for the beautiful image to go with such a meaningful sentiment.
