Find Joy

Hello all! I have been a bad blogger and neglected to post any posts lately. How many excuses do I have? Well it's about the same number of excuses i have for not going to the gym...however, my heart is always headed towards my work space, just not my feet.
Anyhooo, this is a card that I worked on very slowly. I absolutely loved coloring this stamp and seeing how it came out once I stamped it. I used the SU Abundant Joy stamp set and used rich regals SU Stampin' Write markers to color them. I scribbled the colors and used ones that didn't quite match (in my mind) then when i stamped them, Oh My Goodness!! What beauty! So i took my time putting this beautiful art work on something nice. So this morning, i think i am satisfied. I hope you like it as well. Click on the picture to get a better close up of the detail of the markers. For the faux stiching, I used uniball white gel pen and ran it across holes that i punched with the paper pierce-ing (sp?) tool. When you run it across, make sure that you stop at each hole so the lines will not look like lines. You want them to look like stiches. Perfection is not the key to this technique. I like that. Type to you all soon...
