Stamping -My First Passion

Morning and welcome to my new follower Marie-Christine and we have a new "Spring is in the Air" challenge starting today at Daisy Chain -I have used a beautiful unused stamp which I won about three years ago!I stamped the image in distress ink and pulled out the colour with a water brush,then a very faint watery blue on raindrops.The stamp is melanthium from Stampn'Stor,the B.paper is from a pad I won last year,the plastic coated tag is from The Works,dewdrops from stash and cardstock from Papermill Direct.

    Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for blessing us with your artwork here at Word Art Wednesday. We are midway on our current challenge and I hope you join us again. Leaving you with the inspiration of God's Word found in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 which tells us, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love." Have an awesome week.
