Today's card uses some flowers I had already colored a week or so ago using the Blooming printable that comes free with purchase of the Blooming Die Set. I paired them with a sentiment from the Love From Me DIGITAL Set. The flowers are colored with clean color real brush markers and blended with a clear wink of stella glitter pen.
The background is actually a piece of cardstock I used to clean up my stencil after doing a distress oxide blending technique on another card. I liked the look, and added a skewed panel of black for some drama.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Julee,
Congratulations on your promotion to full-time Mama. Aside from following Jesus, being a wife and Mom are my greatest joys. It's also a blessing to have a job that fits one's talents and passions! I feel that way about my teaching position, but over the years, the pull between work and home has been tough!
I am so thankful that God has opened another door in your life and that you will be undivided in your calling for this season when the Twin Verves are so young. What a blessing it will be for all of you.
Thank you for my passionate creative outlet of stamping. I learned so much from both the Mojo and Verve sketches and was encouraged that following them helped me to gain skills as a stamper. A little card can make such a big difference....whether the joy comes from creating, sharing, or receiving one. I have always been a "card sender" and my life is a little fuller being a card maker.
I so admire your artistic talents and the entire dream of building a successful home-based business. I loved receiving carefully chosen, budgeted-for Verve stamps and dies. The packages were always a treat. Thank you for wrapping them so beautifully and enclosing a special surprise.
Thank you for grace-filled beautiful sentiments and illustrations, for beautiful blooms, and even for the tiny bows to dress the Hip Hop Bunnies. I know your kindness and attention to detail will be a blessing in new ways as you enter the next chapter.
Thank you,
Christine
Absolutely beautiful, Julee!
What a wonderful and stunning card Julee - love the drama of the black panel. May you be at peace with your new role, as you move forward in obedience into the next phase of life God has planned for you
Blessings

Such a gorgeous card and a most appropriate sentiment for today. Sending you hugs and love as you close this door, but open so many more. Ox
Beautiful card! It's fun to use those cool scraps ☺️ Blessings on putting God and your family first. I'm 54 and feel so blessed at doing that when we started our family. It's definitely been worth it.
So pretty! I love the flowers!
Oh, Julee, I loved reading what Christine said and can hardly add to it. But I know that God is continuing to bless you as you have entered this new full-time mommy role and of course wife and lover of Jesus. May He grant you grace for each new day. Love you dearly! And I LOVE this gorgeous card! Turquoise (and all blues) is my favorite color, and (just looked) I have this color on right now! You have inspired me over the nearly 11 years, and you will continue, sweet friend! Much love! xoxo
