Some playing time


I'm almost a Stampin' Up purist. They could count me 100% if they would produce more Christian sets. I would love some really great line art to watercolor and Bible verses. As it is, I find some of my inspiration coming from Our Daily Bread.
I took a few minutes this morning to have some me-time and stamp. I wanted something completely different. I usually only have the opportunity to stamp (at the last minute, sometimes) for my Stamp a Stack I host once a month.
The set I grabbed this morning was "Light of the World" one from ODB. I made two very similar cards with different sentiments. On the left, I was aiming for a monochromatic scheme that would highlight the light in a dark world. On the right, I tried for a sunset idea. I'm new to pastels (I've only used them once before these cards), so I still have a lot to learn.
