It's true. The journeys in this life are much better with my husband alongside. I decided to take the Cozy Cottage Hostess Set and make a special card for my husband.
We're on a new journey this week. We received a diagnosis for our youngest son that has forever changed our daily lives, but we are truly blessed that it's nothing worse. Our hearts are hurting - life isn't always fair, but he'll be okay. We firmly believe that The Lord has a plan for us, and fully trust Him and His ways.
That being said... I wanted to make my husband a card to let him know how much I love him and how grateful I am that he's the one to care for our son. All that mushy stuff...
I decided to play along with the Global Design Project sketch this week. I like the sketch enough that I might be playing twice. This time I put a little twist on the sketch. I think it's close enough! :)
Instead of an oval, I decided to frame this cute little cottage on a larger rectangle. I used Shimmery White Cardstock and an Aqua Painter for the watercoloring. The sentiment was made by mixing two of the sentiments from the stamp set.
For the corners, I wanted to add some stamped images like the "hearts" on the sketch. I used the Eclectic Expressions stamp set that you can earn FREE with a $50 purchase now through the end of March.
Thank you so much for stopping by... I know it's been awhile. I promise, once we are in a routine, I'll be back to blogging (and stamping) more often!
Blessings,
Holly
