This card was designed for The Card Concept #138 Summer Fun Inspiration Challenge using several stamp sets that I have not had a chance to ink up in a while.
In addition to the SC383 Sketch Challenge, I am also linking to the following SCS Challenges:
WT798 Sand & Surf (there is sand and water in my image as well as layers of watercolor :-))
AOCC20 All Occasion Card Challenge for 2020- this will be an encouragement card for a gentleman
USEIT2020 I have not inked up the Anchor the Soul set in a while plus used some of my beloved Authentique Patriotic papers (I have been hoarding these, lol!)

Another beautiful Stamp Simply stamp set! I have bought a few sets with faith-based sentiments that I have not inked up yet, looking forward to doing so after I finish a major reorganization/purge of my crafts and some other reorganization. I am impressed with the stamps they create, especially any with faith-based sentiments and Bible verses are great!!!
I love this detailed stamped focal image and how you have colored it. I struggle with mixing paper patterns, and so I love learning from others who do it much better, and the stars on the blue plus the red pattern that has a star-like quality in its pattern and of course the red, white, and blue patriotic theme. I noticed and really liked the artistic splotches on your sentiment, adds a neat texture and vintage quality.
I have been an admirer of your artwork for some time, and I appreciate all that I learn from you and other great artists here on SCS, thank you so much for all that you continue to teach me!!!
