Happy Thursday, peeps. Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week and I felt the need to do some collage stamping, which I haven't done for a while! I pulled out an Artistic Outpost stamp that hasn't seen very much ink, and some linen-printed CTMH paper and went to work:
The linen paper had a gray tone to it, so I randomly stamped all the background images from Birds of a Feather in Smoky Slate ink, then added the bird and the sentiment (Special Moments) in Versafine Onyx. For fun, I added some Stitchery "bird tracks" along the edge in Smoky Slate and Basic Gray and a row of hearts diecut from Basic Black cardstock along the top.
It all went on a card base of Papertrey's Soft Stone cardstock. I really wanted to add some ribbon or bling, but the recipient is kind of a plain-and-simple gal, so I left it as it was. I added a Bible verse to the inside and it's ready to mail. Thanks for popping in today..enjoy it and be blessed!
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. Romans 8:28-30
