Grow in Grace

Our Daily Bread has the most amazing stamp sets!  I love this song Amazing Grace.   Have you ever listened to Chris Tomlin's version?  It brings tears to my eyes.     You can watch it HERE.

This is a 6x6 card.  I don't make this size very often but the Hymn stamp is large and I wanted to showcase it along with the flower image. 

I like taking all kinds of pictures at different angles so that you can see the details and dimensions of the card.

Stitched

I love quilts. Especially if they’re worn, soft and comfy! I created this wedding card using PTI set – Quilters Sampler. I colored the images using my water brush. I like to squeeze the lid of my stamp pad and use the ink from the inside of the lid.

I scraped the edges with my scissors to grunge it up and then sponged the edges.
