Faith

Wow, here is it April already!!  Since it is the beginning of the month, it is time for new challenge from the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog: April Showers Bring May Flowers.  Our sponsor is the fabulous CAS-ual Fridays
CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here is the card I created using some of their beautiful stamp sets:
I started by die cutting the white panel with a stitched rectangle die, then die cutting the circle out of the center.  After lightly marking the circle on my card base with a pencil, I sponged on some yellow and a very tiny bit of orange ink to add interest to the background that shows through the circle cut out.  I stamped the flowers and leaves on scrap paper, colored them and fussy cut them out and adhered them into place.  I finished by stamping the parts of the sentiment in two different colors: the gray is not as hard and harsh as black would have been on the large word, but it adds definition to the smaller word so it doesn't get lost.
     Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will get a chance to play along this month; I can't wait to see what you create.

Stamps: CAS-ual Fridays "Mon Ami" and "Powerful Words"
