You Bless Me

I hope yours was a glorious day, mine certainly was. It was just a day that everything clicked - I got so much done around the house. Today I got around to pulling out a new stamp set that hasn’t laid around for years and years - so I’m assuming it’s pretty current. The stamp set I chose was a Wordsworth acrylic set - and since I’m trying to change things up a bit and work outside of my comfort zone - I picked something that definitely was not my normal style. There was a larger sentiment in the set that I was drawn to - but for this card, I pulled together other smaller stamps from the set. I love the flower in this set…it has the outline and the solid inner shape. Even though I seasoned the stamp, I found it didn’t take the ink as well as I wanted, so through the miracle of acrylic I was able to line it up and add a second coat of ink.
I had fits getting a true representation of the colors on the photo above, the bottom picture is a truer reflection of the colors - an apricot design paper accented by a moss or sage green.
Supplies:
Stamps: Wordsworth Stamps - Friends Collection
Inks: SU Mellow Moss, SU Elegant Eggplant, SU Lavender Lace
Paper: Bazzill; Marcella Kay - Bungalow
Accessories: Nestibilities, Brads, ribbon, ornare template, Martha Stewart Scallop Border Punch
Thank you so much for stopping by! I’m so tickled to get to know some of you through your comments. Have a blessed day!

I love this card. I want to be like Becca when I grow up.
Ooh, love those colors, and you really have a way with embellishments (that’s an area I definitely struggle with, so I’m always drawn to cards that have those little extra “pops” without being obnoxious!)
I never seem to be able to get good coverage with dye inks on my acrylics, either, so generally turn to chalk or hybrid inks. Double stamping is a great solution, though - may have to give that a try next time I’m looking for just the right color in my pile o’ inks :)
Gorgeous Becca!! The colors are beautiful!
I love the sentiment!!!! Such a sweet card. :)
Very sweet card! I have had some trouble with some acrylic stamps like that, but not for a while. I am surprised too that you would have difficulty with a wordsworth set — I seem to have more trouble with less expensive ones. Anyway your card turned out fabulous.
What a beautiful card! And Debra, you ARE like Becca! I love your cards as well.
Very, very nice card! I have always love Wordworth stamps but don’t see them as much any more. This is just my second day and I have a few more on the feed to look at, this is so wonderful. Thank you, Lord for leading me here.
