Posted on May 14, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Sunday! The calendar shows T – 2 days to lift off to Dublin! My is-it-done calendar shows….T-35 days! That – in case you were wondering – is a disconnect. Not ever with the newest, fuzziest math – the kind that asks a kid to do 10 steps to get the answer to “15 divided by 3” – can make that work out, y’all!! But – regardless – it’s coming!

My card today is a CASE of a sample in the new catalog – it’s actually the card that made me take a second look at the Marvelous Nature stamp set. I combined it with new colors, a little Exposed Brick embossing and some Earthen Elegance DSP. Take a look-see:
