This week has been flying by so fast......Jerry came back safely from his trip to Chicago. Our oldest daughter Sarah is heading out for her first Christian Camp this upcoming week!!! She is been packing and getting her last neccessary items together!!!
This is her first time away from home with out any family around....hmmmmm I feel a little weird about it, but this is just me her mom speaking!!! I can't hardly believe how much she has grown this past year!!! I'm very proud of her - she is very independent and she has made very good decisions so far - LOL!!!
So while I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off (funny expression) trying not to think about her leaving us for a whole week - I desperately needed some stampin' therapy - LOL!!! I found a lot of comfort in my new Our Daily Bread Designs Stamps.
My card also fits the Stamp Simple #95 Challenge - Let the *Sparks* fly!!
On both of my cards I used the Amazing Grace Set as the centerpiece plus on my first card I added the Amazing Grace Hymn in the background.I stamped straight onto the Designer Paper and and distressed the edges.
Once I was done with the distressing I added some Candle Light Shimmerz with a very fine Paint Brush.
If you click on the photo you will see it a little better!!!

I scored the top and the bottom with two lines and added the Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon bow .
My last finishing touch was the Brown Gemstones.

My parents would totally love these cards since Amazing Grace is their favorite hymn. I love them, too. I'll go check these stamps out now at OBDB. Have a great weekend!
Both cards are so very pretty, Silke! Elegant, each in their own way. Elegance and simplicity really do go hand in hand, I think. Love the music background and subtle pattern of the paper in the first card.
So gorgeous Silke! I love the softness of these cards, very elegant in detail. Kellie has a winner with this set, I absolutely love it!
Just love both your cards, Silke! I received the cards you mailed me. You are too kind!! Thank you!
