Hand-stamped by Linda Lou Copyright Stampin' Up!
So ... I finally did it. Got out the stamps and supplies and made a few cards yesterday. What a great feeling. There's just something wonderful that happens when you create a beautiful card from a piece of a paper, some stamps, ink, and a few embellishments. I know, I know ... the DSP is retired, kind of like being laid off ... but just because it's retired doesn't mean I don't like it or don't want to use it. Kinda like me.... I took Patty Bennett's watercoloring idea, only used the Whisper White card stock. Because it's not coated like the Shimmery White, you have to use the water sparingly and work fast ... kinda do a light wash over the entire rose and then come back in with your darker colors. I thought it turned out pretty. The real test is to put it on your desk, at night, and then look at it the first thing in the morning when you get up. If it still looks as pretty as you thought it did the night before, then that's the true test of a great card!
Bought some tomato plants today and some Weed and Feed. Looks like it's time for me to get outside to do some yard work. Ugh ... I'd rather be stamping.
Got a big day planned tomorrow. Have a great one!
I've got a GREAT recipe for Fried Chicken and Biscuits and Gravy. Made it tonight and it's a heart attack waiting to happen. I'll share the recipe later.

Gorgeous, Linda! I like the pearls on the ribbon and how you used that holiday paper here. Have a beautiful day!
Your card is gorgeous! I am going to try this today. Have a lovely day. ;)
The card is beautiful, I tried the tecnique, and I'll have to do it your way, mine turned out weird, I didn't use the shimmer cs, so I will do it that way.Thanks for the lovely card!
Beautiful card Linda!
I think I can read you mind/mood from all the way up her in Oregon. All day yesterday, I kept thinking you were a little down. I said a few prayers for you. It's not fun to be down. But, if there's one thing you've taught me, just doing SOMETHING and then going to bed, usually clears things up.
P.S. Nice card, it that's your kind of thing:) I think stamping would make me scream.
I love the card!!! but I missed out on the technique, where do I find out how to do that? it looks like white embossing and then do the wash...is that right?...I dare you to leave the garden this year and just do whatever you like!...you deserve that! Besides, I wanna see more cards!!...lol
Love the card Linda! adZ
Oh wow, I love this card. Also the dsp is gorgeous.
