Julie's Creative Stamping: Light Me Home & Stampin Blends!

So glad you popped by to my blog today! I don't know about you but coloring always helps me to calm down and relax. For this card I used the "Light Me Home" stamp set by Stampin UP®. I added in stampin blends, rhinestones and the Stitched Shape dies to create this lovely scene. I really enjoy coloring and this stamp set gives you plenty of things to color in and decorate. I used stampin blends but you could easily use watercolor pencils or the Stamp N Write markers and get a great finish.

I'd love to hear what you think so please scroll to the bottom and leave me a comment. Also if you'd like to get a notice each time I add a new card just add your email to the right under the "Follow Me" title.
