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!

Good Monday Morning Stamping Friends!
I hope you all enjoyed your Easter Holiday with your loved ones.  Mine was nice & quiet....I do enjoy my peaceful Holidays!!!!!  Unfortunately; my kiddos start back to school tomorrow so I'll have to get back into taxi mode LOL!!

I do believe that I've just created the most simple card EVER in my life!  Minimal layers, no embellishments other than ribbon & the only thing special is the dimension added by using dimenionals.  I am quite pleased with the final look & I think with the use of an active stamp; I may adopt this look for my swaps I need to make for this weekend's SU! venture I'm attending!  ENJOY!!!
