CSS Hope is Faith Blog Hop



Feelings of Hope

Gina challenged the CenterStage Spotlight team to make a card with the new Hope is Faith stamp set using the photo above for inspiration. Check out Gina's blog for all the details on this special stamp set.

The inspiration for this card came from the colors...

I used the crackle background stamp and bleach to create a cool background on Green Apple cardstock. I love the yellow that popped up as a result of the bleaching...it just tied the colors together so well from the focal image. I used the beautiful butterfly from Hope is Faith as well as Bold Flowers and Elegant Flowers for this card.

Be sure and stop by these designer's participating in the hop tonight:
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
