Nancy has chosen Dina (dini) for this week's featured stamper. What an awesome choice and I cannot believe Dina has not been in the spotlight till now! So many great projects in her amazing gallery! I was inspired by lots but for now, chose to honor her with one of her own designs sentiment stamp, paired with this homey scene. Diecut it from the sheet of images and used the pink fresh die in the background of it. Sponged all the edges. Large heart is popped up. Sentiment was first stamped in DOX and then added the mossy meadow to make it more green.
Also will be another Christmas card for Ann's March challenge.

Shirl, this is so unique and simply wonderful! I love that you used one of Dina's sentiments and matched it with that comforting and sweet scene! The hearts are the perfect embellishments!

What a lovely way to honor Dina with one of her stamp designs. And you paired it so brilliantly with that beautiful and "homey" picture. Your inking on the edges adds so much depth and interest as does the fun shapes on the framing. Love that you finished this "homey" scene with hearts. Fabulous card, Shirl.
