Hello and welcome back to the blog! 

The hubby and I are well on our way to our 17 anniversary that will happen in May, but I loved the years together stamp so much, that I grabbed some numbers to create today's card!  It started with those flowers in the background from the Happy Together stamp and die set. I used a single color to keep the card really simple, yet elegant!  Sunkissed in from the Warm n Cozy collection, it's just perfectly in between yellow and orange. I used a bit of Jet Black cardstock, along with the Halftone Circles Nesting dies, and the Bold Numbers dies. What you barely see is a vellum layer of the die for the Happy Together die set. I wanted to mute the color, and add another layer altogether! More little touches like the splatters and tiny flagged end on the sentiment finish this card!

Bible study was really good today!  I know I'm out of the normal order I go, but it will happen some of the time. Keeping this short, I've got to run to the store before it closes!

Thanks for visiting!

Hello and welcome back! I've got a cute card made with products from Altenew, a personal update and a bit of bible study information.  Today was pretty cool, the hubby and I went shopping for a housewarming gift for my middle daughter who will be getting their apartment soon.  We also got some snacks, and stuff for dinner.  I also had a chance to catch up with Jeanne, she also made a card.  I love how dedicated she is about being a better artist. She has been taking classes for drawing and shading.  Her work is stunning.  Bible study was really good yesterday. I've recently changed the days when I do bible study, only Monday - Fridays. This allows me really work on all the things I need to do on the weekends and appreciate the days I dive into Bible class. 

Let's start with the card I made today! I've included a link at the bottom, so please take a look at it.

I've used the stamp set before, but never in Red Cosmos ink colors.  I love how beautiful it turned out. Not only are the flowers pretty but so is the sentiment which is from Classic Beauty.  I used Obsidian Black for the outline and sentiment and with Green Fields for the leaves.  I added some of the Red Cosmos Enamel Dots too! I love those things!

Here's a close up of some of the details on my card.  Warm n Cozy inks are perfect for the centers of most any flower!  Do you see the Obsidian Black on the leaves? Pretty cool, huh!

And another angle of the card.  I love the balance in this layout. Always a beautiful way to show off florals while leaving plenty of space for a sentiment.

That's about it for today. May God bless you
