Rain, rain and more rain here. My thoughts are with Louisiana and their floods and for all the people in the midst of California fires. Mother Nature is in a really bad mood and can't seem to get out of it. Todays card is for my girlfriends birthday the end of this month. It is a Hero Arts stamp and the banner is also HA. Black cardstock and a snippet of blue cardstock. I stamped the background with black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Then inked in the birds and flowers. I am entering this card in https://a2zscrapbookingblog.comhttp://www.cropstop.com/blog/,  http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/. and http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/ Be kind to one another.

One of my favorite stamps & you've used it to perfection, Brenda! Boy do I hope there's a break in the weather when I head to Indy! Being stuck in an airport by myself is a pretty terrifying thought!

This is really rich and elegant, Brenda! It reminds me of a needlepoint. She will love it!! The flooding in LA is so sad, as are the fires in southern CA. I hope you get just the RIGHT amount of rain! Hugs, Darnell xxoo

Hi Norm here. I didn't really have time to fess up as Mrs A. Caught me with the duck tape and sissors. She wasn't too upset though as she thought a headless statute gave a certain finess to the garden. Hugs Norm.

Sorry I haven't been by in such a long time, Brenda! Sometimes life....Anyway..This is GORGEOUS! I have a couple of HA stamps that stamp the background like this but I'd never seen this one! It's a weekly pick at Pixie's and I had to come by and see how you did it! Wonderful!

Greta said...

Hurrah! One of the picks at The Playground! Well-deserved, Brenda!
