Blessings


I had absolutely no idea where I was going when I started in on this card . . .


 . . . and that exciting quest has become a major part of the fun of stamping 
for me. 

Ten years ago, this card would never have gotten off the table.  I loved the colors in the background layer which I found in my Scrap Stash, but couldn't figure out what to do with the piece.  That would have totally stumped me back in the early days of workin' the rubber.  But now I just start in, trying out one idea at a time.  It's always an  adventure and  I am loving the process.

Picasso said that, "Inspiration exists, but you have to find it working."  
He was right.
