Quiet Waters



I'm excited to show you a peek at one of the new sets coming from Our Daily Bread Designs next week: Quiet Waters. This image is so serene and peaceful - and perfectly suits the Scripture passages that make up the rest of the set. I wanted a light, soft look to go along with the pastel colors of Basic Grey's Wisteria papers, so I stamped in Memento London Fog (a grey ink), then lightly colored with Prismacolors. The Scripture is tucked in the inside with a little bit of decorating:



For more peeks of Quiet Waters, as well as Ask, Seek, Knock, both of which will be released on June 1, be sure to visit the other design team members' blogs throughout the week and weekend - links are on the left sidebar.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a blessed day!
