Dear blog readers, it's been a long time.
I made this card last night but was too exhausted to
even put it on the blog. So here I am bright an early
trying to get it done today, before I forget.
I will enter this card in the challenge at:
The stamps I used for this card are:
Stampin UP:
Life in bloom
Elements of text
Coneflower celebrations
I used the small script stamp on the left hand side
of the card instead of DSP. I then splattered stamped
the right side of the card and sponged the edges with a brown
ink to make it look antique. I chose to play on the words of
the sentiment by only showing a "glimpse" of the flower. So I
stamped the image off the sides of the card stock. The bow was
a tad tricky as usual. I should have just stamped and cut a bow
using paper, but I thought the ribbon to be more appropriate with
keeping with an old-time look. I love the thought of old letters wrapped
up in ribbons and bows. Short story: My husband and I had a long distant
relationship, and we wrote each other every single day, we even marked our envelopes with highlighters so we'd know they were from each other.
36 years later I still have these precious letters.
I often think I should tie them in ribbons and bows.
Right now they are in shoe boxes.
Kids of today miss out on that with all the texting.
I have my love's handwriting and thoughts
and it's most precious to me. I'm so glad we lived in a time
before computers and phones took over.
and where writing was still considered valuable and appreciated.
The morning glories in my garden are in need of a good weeding,
but I can't get it done yet this year. Recovery takes time.
The scene out front of my house has my nerves on edge. Let's hope the end result
will be a beautiful street.
Patriot pup has the most darling eyes.
and the little fella knows how to use them to
his advantage. Wink
The verse I chose for this card is:
Hebrews 13:8 NKJV
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
