Thank you card for my sweet Sistah, Christina, (affectionately known to me as Chrissy Cakes) for this precious stamp in a Christmas card this week. The main image is from Lili of the Valley, Ltd and is watercolored with Copic highlights. Crystal Effects is on the shoes, eyes and teapot.
I loved getting to know Maryrose via her gallery this morning, and was touched by the way she used scripture on her cards. When I saw The Earth is the Lord's, I knew this was the card to case! Maryrose, your work is beautiful, and shows the Light- I love that! I kept Maryrose's basic layout, changing the colors and images.
I used another Christmas gift, a Verve Scripture from my Southern friend, Tosh. (thanks GF!) I love the verses from Verve and the fonts. I sponged inside a nestie (another "Tosh" trick) and added leaves from my treasured Kitty Kit to frame the words, adding dew drops as Maryrose did on her scripture verse.
Maryrose, enjoy your week. Thank you for sharing so much in this place!

OOOhhhh!! I LOVE this Pat! I have the exact image sitting all stamped (but sadly not colored) and waiting in my VERY MESSY craft room. Tons of inspiration here from the fabulous coloring to the expression of your heart in verse on paper! I love verve verses and need to use mine more--there's a New Year's resolution!!
