Hi friends! Today I have a couple of simple slimline cards to share with you featuring the new Studio Light Grunge Collection Lily of the Valley stamp (SL-GR-STAMP395). What an incredibly beautiful stamp it is! I could not stop with one card and enjoyed coloring two panels in different colorways. My Grandmother and I always sang together and one of our favorites was, "He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star. He's the fairest of ten thousands to my soul. He will never, ever leave me, nor forsake me still, if I live by faith and do His blessed will." Such sweet memories...
For my first card, I created a background of Tea Stain and Victorian Velvet Distress Inks. I really love these colors against the soft greens.
I used an older Grunge Collection Cutting Die set (SL-GR-CD198) to cut my coloring panels from Bristol. I love the jagged edge of these dies.
For my next card, I used a palette of watercolors. I picked a deep purple to contrast with rich greens.
Next time I'll have to do some fussy cutting of these very delicate flowers for a more mixed media look, but I love the fact that these stamps can be used "as is" without much else needed. I hope you've enjoyed these cards today and you'll check out the entire new Grunge Collection. xx, Autumn

Oh my goodness Autumn, you are bad for my budget... but if I don't go on the website, maybe I will resist this stunning grunge image. Love how you have showcased it on these two amazing cards

Love the color choices. Still getting used to slimline cards!
The image doesn't look like much until you colored it. Then, WOW, the flower was beautiful and and the leaves give it a graceful elegance.
