Courage...and flowers

This was made for a gal in one of my art groups that has just experienced a close family members tragic death...One of my dear friends is putting a 5X5 fatbook together for her...
It is always so hard losing a loved one and especially before their time...sending healing prayers!!!

Wednesday Stamper...Fleur De Lis card

I wanted to enter last week but couldn't come up with the right stamp...this week the theme is Fleur De Lis and I couldn't find and appropriate stamp either but got a little creative and found some card stock with Fleur De Lis image (from K&Co)...I background stamped a beautiful flourish from Crafty Secrets "Cherub"Clear art stamps in ColorBox chalk olive pastel ink...I added some fun image stickers from Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage collection "Wonderful Women" and finished off edging the card with the olive pastel ink and added some ribbon trim... Oh, I almost forgot---the inside says "Your support means everything"...Thanks for looking!

Wednesday Stamper...Grunge!

What a super fun topic to dabble in this week...Here is my entry for Wednesday Stamper...The theme this week was GRUNGE...

My entry started on a vintage Bingo card...I then layered bits of paper ephemera, a vintage photo image, a gesso wash, stamps, more paint, more stamps...then finished it off with vintage lace, vintage 15 cent ephemera piece, black german scrap border, fibers and chalk!

Hope you like it, I had great fun with all the layers :0)
