Such a blessing in my life....

I don't know what it is about this card, but it is one of my favorites right now. 

I saw this sketch on one of the stamping challenges from my sidebar....(I'm too lazy to go check which one right now...sorry)  Then, while I was blog hopping, I saw a card from DeAnn Rauzi that was very similar to this one.  I just changed a few things. 

I only had time to make one of these cards, but you can best believe that I will be going back and making a LOT more for my stash. 

I used that great new Everyday Enchantment DSP from the sale a bration catalog, and can I just say, that I am very sad that it is only available for a short time.  Because, I LOVE this paper.

I embossed the Poppy Parade background with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder and then took some Soft Suede ink and a sponge, and sponged over the raised image to help make it pop a little bit.  I also sponged all the edges of each piece.  The border, in Pool Party, underneath the sentiment is a very sadly neglected stamp that had never even touched an ink pad yet, Borderlines.  Then from the Blessings From Heaven stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede.

So, I hope you like this card as much as I do.  Thanks DeAnn for the wonderful inspiration.  There are so many stampers out there in blogosphere that inspire me.  I wish I had more time to just blog hop and get even more inspiration.  Thank you to all the wonderfully inspirational bloggers out there that share their creations so I can copy them....(insert big grin here).

Thanks for peeking in.

Have a wonderful day today.
