Plants Galore

 .

I haven't stamped for a couple days again.

So I feel a bit rusty at it.  And my inks 

were all weird, and by the time I got done

fussing with them, I had ink all over my hands.   

I chose to play with patterned paper again.

It will forever be an obstacle for me and one

that I will forever try to overcome.  (wink)

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Plentiful Plants 

The striped DSP reminds me of some clown

pants from the seventies.  I don't know why,

and I'm trying to overlook it.  I just need 

to use up some of the scraps I have 

accumulated over the years. 

I had to leave the one pot empty because when

I put a plant in it, I couldn't see the one behind

it so well.  I sort of like it this way.  Gives a 

bit of hope and anticipation as to what will be 

growing in this little pot.  To bad I didn't 

have a cute little gecko to stamp on the rim.  

I could see him crawling around inside one 

of the planters but I wouldn't appreciate it. 

I thought I'd stamp plants because I just 

purchased us a new plant stand.  I'm 

so excited I even put it together myself,

in fact I could barely get up off the floor

when I was done.  But I was quite proud

of how it turned out.  and it's still standing.  

Below is a picture of the old stands.  They

were outdoor stands and a bit wobbly.  

Here is the new stand I built.

and back up in the window with a few 

of my plants.  The inspiration for today's card.

The spring cactus is still blooming. 

She is so lovely. 

Isaiah 61:11KJV

 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden

 causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so 

the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise

 to spring forth before all the nations.
