Embossed Vellum Anniversary

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

I've dry embossed some heavy vellum this time and paired it with
an Alexandra Renke Die that's been embossed several times with a
sparkly silver embossing powder.

A stamped and heat embossed sentiment finishes it off.

Miss Your Face

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by!

A little quarantine fun today.

My friend Brenda did a card using this mask pattern and shared a video for

making it too.  Darnell also shared some cards using this mask.

They are making the rounds.

I had sent Jack a rainbow chick card and he let me know he loved it.

Then he made us a card telling us how much he wanted to give us a big hug.

He's such a sweet boy!  I thought he would like one of the mask cards.

(He did and propped it up on his dresser to admire.)

I broke out a NBUS alphabet die and cut the letters from several different colors of

cardstock snippets and popped it all on a snippet of embossed decorative paper.

Most Beautiful Day

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by.

When I was going through my UFO box not long ago, I found this image that

I had stamped while visiting a friend.  I'd forgotten all about it.

The sentiment seemed so appropriate for these times.

I had some left over ink on my palette and a damp waterbrush so I quickly

colored the flowers and bottles and added some color over the sentiment. 

 When I die cut the image and the sentiment, there were some tiny

black dots left on the border.  So I added a few doodles 

(to cover up an oops) around the image and popped them on

an embossed card base.

I hope today will be a beautiful day for you!

Prayer for Peace

The Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
