Hello everyone!!! I have missed you all so much! I have been unable to do a card in a couple of weeks... we were on vacation. Had a great time in NE but glad to be home too!
When I saw the fold on today's TLC my first thought was the stamp set I used for my Christmas cards last year. A gift of love is an older set but a much loved one. I stamped the images on GPW with Archival Black and colored with Copics. I used an unknown marbled tan color paper, and overstamped the cross from Refuge and Strength over the star (as I had done last year for my Christmas card). I cut out the images and glued on, and matted the sentiment on Not Quite Navy.
I think it took me way too long cutting out everything to send this out in mass.... LOL! But it is a neat fold and if I had chosen to just use nesties instead of intricate cuts, it would have been much quicker! Fun card and so glad to have made a card. I think I left my mojo in Maine, but hopefully I'll get it back soon.
A big thank you to everyone who expressed that they missed me... made me feel wonderful!!!
Hope you have a great stamping day!

Great job Grace. The cross is sensational. I really like your fabulous scene. It is perfect for this challenge. You KNOW how much I missed you. It was cold and raining the entire time. Glad you are back. Now get back to a daily challenge and rekindle your stamp funds. We need to take a road trip.

I've missed your smiling face and sweet comments! Your card is a great one but agree that it would be a tough one to mass produce!
