Flowers Feed the Soul.

Hello everyone: Every time I post on my little blog I say to all of you who come here that I pray and hope you and your families are doing well in these difficult times. Unfortunately, we as a Country are not doing well at all, the Pandemic and the civil unrest are getting worse, our leaders are NOT leading and that is a FACT!!!!! That's all I can say about that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sharing this card with you and a few challenges.

These images are from 2 Flourishes sets, the garden hat and rack are from "Friendly Reminders" (2010) all the rest are from "From the Garden" (2010)

The brick wall was added after I had already stamped the table and hat with a Tim Holtz embossing folder but I didn't run it through the Big Shot, all I did was to sponge the ink on it, placed my panel on top and just rub the parts that didn't have the images, it worked perfectly. The little bird was stamped on the table, the rest of the images were stamped, colored with Prismacolor pencils and a few watercolors then, fussy cut.

The sentiment is from the set.

*********************************************************

This is the INSIDE of the card.

The garland of roses is from a new Stampin' Up set called "Grace's Garden", which is so beautiful, I just got it, love it!!, the rest of the images are from the Flourishes set.

I want to play with the following challenges.

Hello everyone: I'm always hoping you and your families are doing well, I pray for patience and endurance for all of us in these very difficult times.

I have this card to share with you created with another stamped image from my pile of UFO's, I'm making a serious dent but I still have a good amount of unfinished images that will make pretty cards.

This mailbox is part of the retired Flourishes set called "Friendly Reminders", the envelope is die-cut with the retired SU set called "Love Notes", the pattern papers and twine are from my stash, I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils.

*****************************************************

This next picture has the little "letter" inside the envelope, pulled out.

The sentiment on it is from a retired 2013 Flourishes set called "Spring Blossoms".

*******************************************************

And this is the INSIDE of this card.

The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Simply Camelias (on sale now) and I also used the word "and" from the Wild Mushrooms set that's unfortunately, sold out.

I'm playing along with these challenges.
