This past week has been one of gratitude and grief for me. I have been so blessed by the love and generosity of friends during this time of isolation. A thank you at the front door when they drop off a bowl of homemade ice cream or on the phone when they connect me with the perfect person to clean my gutters before the rain is just not enough. So the first of today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored designs is one of the thank you cards going out to these lovely people.
It was created using the newly released set Old World Door Multi Step Clear Stamps with a little help from Potted Topiaries Multi Step Clear Stamps (pot) and Coffee Mate Greetings Clear Stamps (thanks). I turned the door into a window by cutting out sections of the door and adding a bit of brick below the windowsill. An inside peek shows some of the climbing roses in a pot on the kitchen table.
