(T+Y) x 3…

Thank you for dropping by today. Here in Michigan, we finally have had some long-awaited rain. Our desert brown lawn actually has a little green showing. But wouldn’t you know, just as the drought started, our push mower/trimmer died! So later today, it’s lawn-mower shopping!

We all know people who go out of their way to do the “behind the scenes” jobs. The three cards presented here today are for all the extra cleaning and TLC given by three wonderful ladies in our church. We recently had a new custom kitchen made to replace our old, well used kitchen in the church building. These three ladies gave up their day to polish and make the kitchen (and assembly hall) shine. Wish there was another way to express our thanks for all they continue to do for our Christian family.

Since I love to surf the net for something different in card-making products, I discovered Flonz Crafts, a family owned supplier in New Zealand!  They carry a lot of fantastic vintage stamps which captivated my imagination. The three stamps I used for this project are from their Vintage Flowers Engravings / Large Sheet 8"x 10"collection. They are just the perfect size for an A2 note card.

I stamped the image with a Gunmetal ink and heat set with a fine clear embossing powder. Next, I finished adding my color using the delightful Chameleon Pens. These pens were a joy to use, and the finished coloring was what I had imagined.

Hope this project will encourage you to look into different areas for exciting and diverse stamp designs. There is so much out there, just have fun.

Till next time –

May God Bless You and Yours
