The prayer list at our church is way too long, and I needed some cards for two of the members on the list– good friends who could use some cheer. The first card I made earlier this summer, and was glad to have it on hand. The pretty flowers were from my garden. There aren’t many left now, though we do have a pretty arrangement of hydrangeas still on the dining room table.
The card uses one of my favorite Papertrey Ink stamp sets: Rosie Posie.
This card uses my newest floral stamps from WPlus9, appropriately called Fresh Cut Florals. The hardest thing about this card was finding the right combination of inks to use for the multiple stamping.
The colors and the berries make me think of fall. It’s felt like it the last few days—temperatures in the 40’s some mornings and only getting to the mid-60’s during the day. Summer will be back with a vengence if the meteorologist is correct. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s on Wednesday!

Both such pretty cards.
Karen I particularly like how you have presented the first card – it looks fabulous with the vase of flowers.
The first card is lovely with that beautiful vase and flowers in it.
What a beautiful way to photograph the card.
Our flowers are all pretty much gone. I need to plant some fall color soon.

Such beautiful cards. I especially love the colours you’ve used on the second card. 🙂 I’m sure they’ll both be appreciated.
Perfect. I’m sure they will be received with grateful thanks.
I have woolly tights and boots on here today. It’s definitely Autumn
Those fresh oranges shades feel both autumnal and summery at the same time! Perfect for your weather? Sending warmest good wishes to all on your prayer list …
Wow, Karen, I don’t know anyone who stamps as beautifully as you. This card is gorgeous!
