Card #41 for 2025

Dearest blog readers, I went through quite

the process in making this card.  I added 

a few extra pictures below so you can see what

I'm talking about.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Try a Sketch on Tuesday

The stamp sets I used are:

Stampin Up:  Timeless tulips, bokeh dots, latte love

Inks: bumblebee, granny apple green, melon mambo 

I first want to point out that you might have noticed

the faint lines behind the cup of flowers.   You 

see I can't seem to stamp my bokeh stamp without

getting the edges, so I just gave up and left them.  

I then embossed the 3 lines on the left-hand side

using my paper trimmer.  I stamped a larger tulip 

multiple times on the right-side,   and then proceeded

stamping the little cup, tulips and leaves.   A lot of fussy

cutting and then I even made more work for myself, because 

I thought I'd try a few different cup colors on DSP as 

you can see below. 

I even thought I'd get fancy and try to use a little

paint and fill in the lines, that looked awful.  So

back to basics.  I don't know why I just keep adding

things when sometimes less is more.  

Here's a picture of Patriot pup with his 

paws up, looking for a treat.  

The verse I chose for today's card is:

Isaiah 40:8 KJV

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
