I stamped the Psalm 143:8 scripture from the brand new Verve stamp set called Good Work along with the wheat image for a silhouette effect over the subtle patterned paper. I tucked a Hearts & Swirls Frame Die under the main sentiment panel then embellished with wooden and RUSTIC deer head. What a beautiful challenge to work with today! Hope you'll try it out, too!
Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
