Card #39 for 2025

Dearest Blog readers, 

Here we are at the start of another week. 

I'm feeling overwhelmed with it already. 

So stamping to the rescue. 

I will enter this card is the challenge at:

AAA Cards Challenge

Stamp sets:

Stampin Up: Inspiring Iris, Storybook Life

Ink:  Granny apple green, Bumblebee 

It would surely amaze you how many times I stamped this

card to get it just the right way.  The iris stamp set is a 

two step stamp, however each time I stamped it I felt 

the black ink was too dark. So I chose to omit the outline and

just stamp the water colored images, and it gave it a much 

softer look.  Even stamping the sentiment in green instead

of black just made the card come together so nicely.  More 

light and springy as it should be.  

I had to restrain myself from adding any embellishments,

or other images.  Although I do think a tiny butterfly 

stamp would have been lovely. 

Here is a picture of Patriot, he was awfully naughty 

last night with our company biting and jumping and 

wild as all get up.  So he had to go in his kennel for 

awhile to calm down.  Please know he doesn't leave

teeth marks or such, he's just very mouthy.  SO

today he's been quiet and trying to get use to playing 

and using his paws.  He has a few handicaps, and his 

paws are one issue we are working out with him.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 104:10KJV

 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
