Blessing

Igor, my husband of 19 years, is indeed my blessing and I am so grateful to have found a stamp that speaks my heart. 

I wanted the cream cardstock to match the dots in the printed paper but every color I had was off.  Copics to the rescue!  I stroked the E30 Bisque over the nearest match and voila!  Made-to-order indeed.

As feared, I’ve gotten hooked on designer/printed papers and have begun to incorporate them in my cards.  So far, I’ve collected just one small box of them, but I’m a stamper – so we all know where that’s going:  pretty soon TWO boxes, then a cabinet, and finally the whole room.  Sigh . . .
