Peace & Comfort


I love settling down to stamp now, when I can find time. It is so peaceful and relaxing.


This card is up over on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog today. I stamped in pink ink an image from Bold Wishes repeatedly onto a background that had been inked with yellows and oranges. So cool how one little row of images can create an entire background. I'm really into these big, "juicy" bows too (as Michele calls them) and find that I want to put the silk ribbon onto every card I made. (You'll have to bear with me, there are a few more cards coming with juicy bows!)  I added a big bow in gold May Arts Silk Ribbon and then stamped a sentiment from Beanstalks. The colors were just soothing to me.

So that's it for today, hope to be posting more often soon!

    Gorgeous & soothing! I absolutely love the warm tones. I have free time to stamp now but am almost afraid to start stamping again. I feel so rusty; I know I need to just dive in and start playing.

    That stamped background is amazing, Karen! I love how the pink is so rich over the yellows. What inks did you use?
