TMS #541~ Power of Hope, Hello, Doily, Stampin Up

 I made this card for the challenge at: 

 Tuesday Morning Sketches

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stamping Up:  Power of Hope

Stampin Up: Hello, Doily

I am so happy I got a chance to play with my new stamp set.   I think it went well with the older one that included the doily. 

I really love the word "hope"  it's one of those words that just seem to be so self descriptive.   However, I also enjoy the acronym for it.  

H~Hold

O~On

P~Pain

E~Ends

Perhaps because I struggle with nerve damage I found that very "hopeful"  

Any ways, after stampin my little Japanese castle, I fussy cut it out and even used my handy little knife to cut out the insides a bit, so it could be positioned on top of the cherry blossom trees.    I then added gold pearl accents to highlight it and match the gold embellishments. 

I'm including a picture of the morning sunrise.  I just love sunrises, it brightens the yard, and my heart.  

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
