Streams

I love water. There’s something so soothing about it. For seven years we lived near one of the Great Lakes and I really do miss the sound of the water. Each summer, we do spend as much time as possible at the lake though. Nothing quite like the waves to rock you to sleep.

While this design doesn’t have a lake, it does have a beautiful stream. The new Thomas Kinkade Streams of Living Water stamp is released today from Cornish Heritage Farms. I used an older Thomas Kinkade sentiment with this design, Always on my Mind…I love how you can use different ones with different images.

The card reads….You are always on my mind….and in my heart and prayers. Inside sentiment is computer generated. I thought this would make a nice card for someone going through difficult times. I’m sure you know someone. We all do. It’s nice to be able to uplift someone by taking the time to create a card and let them know we care.

This design is colored with my Copic markers. This design in particular is very easy to color as it is more of a distance view. Check out the other samples our design team has created for some gorgeous ideas!

    Very pretty card Julia. These stamps are gorgeous but look so hard to color. I may just have to try one to see how hard they really are! ;)

    Oh you guys make those stamps come to life. I LOVE how beautiful and peaceful that card looks. YET I am too afraid to even try.. I think my image would end up looking like one big mess! lol :) I’ll just sigh and enjoy your beautiful creations :)

    Awake in the night and cannot sleep. Decided to get some inspiration for the week so I began to jump around on blogs to see if my eye can catch some new ways. I´m really happy that I came across your blog and I have stayed much longer then I should at your place. Thanks a million for all the inspiration.
