When Friends Gather Together- Digi Stamp
I'm going to admit something- I never achieved any sort of competency at coloring. Oh how my anal retentive, perfectionist tried when I was a kid. No coloring outside of the lines (at least intentionally!), no creative license. In fact (when I was particularly young- I'll keep the actual age to myself), I would become incensed when my sister would "abstract" her art and scribble all over the page. Secretly, I think her own perfectionist thought that she would destroy anything not perfect, however, her claim was that she was making art a la Jackson Pollack.
Having gone on- this is just my way of self-deprecating humor before I share with you this beautiful digistamp from Clear Dollar Stamps. The church and the sentiment come from their Assemble Together set.
I love how this card turned out. The image was shaded (so as not to imply any coloring skills!) using Distress Markers and a water pen. The kraft card was fun to work with as it takes the ink differently than regular cardstock. I used one of these beauties to send a warm wish to friends we meet with regularly for Bible study. The verse reminds me how friendship and meeting together is a gift from God and I am thankful for that gift. I would encourage you to check out Clear Dollar Stamps. It was quick and easy to pick out this stamp set, purchase and download the image for use. I think I had this card made in under an hour after purchase. Yeah!

Andie this is stunning. You shaded it perfectly. You could use this image on a wedding card, even a Christmas card with some glitter. Fabulous, hope you have a great week. Hugs
