Charming Gardeners

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
— Marcel Proust

I had a few cards make there debut on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog today. The first one features Lotsa Links: I created the background by stamping at an angle one of the cool smaller border stamps in pink and then came back with one of the larger stamps in a vintage hue. The edges were inked and then I stamped the sentiment from Wonderful Words and added a handmade cochobon and some May Arts Burlap String.

This second card started out with a handmade background using Twinkling H2Os and then I finished with the same stamped sentiment and flower from Wonderful Words, available at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. I really like how Michele's stamps make a big impact when stamped in such contrast to a soft background.
