We captured a beautiful sunrise with stamps, ink and free Sale-a-bration paper. That’s right the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper used in the background for this card, can be colored any colors you want. My cousin Joyce and I used the large water stamp to create the sky and the water for this serene quick & easy encouragement card.
