This is my card for a weekly double dare challenge I do with a small group of SCS Friends. I'm so late in getting this up - sorry Charlene! I knew I wanted to redo this card: The Art of God by artystamper at Splitcoaststampers
1. We had to pick a card that we thought after we posted it : what was I thinking?!!!
2. Change 2 or more things:
I added a framing layer, changed colors and added butterflies.
3. Keep basic sketch
4. Use one color you rarely use
I used Stazon Azure - first time I've used this Ink Pad and have had it for maybe a year??!!
My biggest 'whoops' on my first card was stamping the bg right on the card - I think it looks better and is a sturdier card if you stamp on a panel and then mount that onto the card.
Fun challenging challenge Charlene! You really made us work on this one!!

Julia, this is so beautiful!! I love that trees stamp, my very favorite by CHF. It's beautiful in both of the colors, and the saying couldn't be more perfect. Awesome job on the challenge!
