Answered Prayers - Kitchen Sink Stamps

I created today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card for a friend who has been through some tough times, of late. She has been on my heart and in my prayers as well as the prayers of many others for quite awhile. In recent days, positive things have finally started to come together and are moving in a very positive direction for her life.  Her own prayers and faithfulness have played a huge part in this, for sure.

Images used to create this card are from the

following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets:

Sunflowers
Watercolor Prayers
Spring Daffodils (dragonfly)
Honey Bunny (grass)
Shoreline Rocks (stone bench)

CCEE2122 - Repeat Stamping

 

According to CCEE Hostess, Kelly McKown-Santi, today is Repeat Day!

For this week, Kelly would like for the CCEE Stampers to use the

repeat stamping technique on our card or project.

For my card for this challenge, I repeated the words Joy, Hope, and Love by KSS in holiday colors halfway down the front of my card. I then added this cute Tim Holtz elf and packages to create my first card to the 2021 Christmas stash!

Here are links the the other cards created
