Good Early Morning Stamping Friends!

I'm here with my April challenge post for the Crafters of Faith.  April is our host this month & she asked us to make our creations with flowers as our theme & we could include rain if we wanted.  Well; I just went with the flowers since it's so very easy to make something with them & I decided to leave the front blank so that I can use this for any occasion.  I also added lots of texture & some pearls as a finishing touch!  Thanks so much for a fun challenge April!  To see what the rest of the girls came up with; look on the left hand side of my blog for the Crafters of Faith!
