Hi Friends,

As always I look forward to Monday's, because it is the beginning of a new week.  This is no different than any other, just move forward, the past is the past and there is now and the future. So make the most of it.
I have a good feeling about this week and the coming months.



I created the background by using one of the stem stamps from PTI Asian fusion and criss-crossing it to give the diagonal background, from Ashley Canon Newell idea, then colored in the flowers with the Shinhan markers
Card stock: PTI classic kraft stampers select

INK: CTMH chocolate and desert sand


Have a Blessed day, Diana

    1. The vase was a big surprise to me Dee. I don't think I had enough ink on it and I love how it came out- it was like a suction, I pulled it off the stamp pad real quick. The backgrouns is at a diagonal both ways to create the background.
