Encouragement card Using The Paper Shelter "The Lantern"

Hello crafters.  I hope everyone is doing well today.   It has been in the 80's again this past few days in Southern CA.  I can't believe how warm it is already - in January.  January is usually our coldest month; but it happened a month earlier than normal.  

I am not sure who this card belongs to yet; but I loved this image and digi paper from The Paper Shelter and had to buy it.  Of course; with it being purple; there was no way to resist. LOL!  The image is pre-colored; so I just colored my stamped image on the inside/lower half of card.  I enjoy creating with colored images.  All their images also come in black and white; so that you can color them; as well as without the backgrounds.  I rarely use digi paper; but I love how Paper Shelter images match so perfectly with the backgrounds.  I have a hard time letting go of the gorgeous backgrounds.  They fit so perfectly together.  I usually end up feeling like I need to create using them just as they are.  One of these days I will have to color my own; but I so enjoy the colored ones.  

I created an Easel card using the image and paper from The Paper Shelter "The Lantern". I printed the image with background on CTMH White Daisy cardstock; which is the best cardstock I have ever used for making my digi images stand out with their true colors.  Be sure to check out The Paper Shelter Challenges on their blog.

    Absolutely GORGEOUS Gloria! Of course purple is MY favorite color too so this card really speaks to me! LOL! Oh I would love to have one of your 80 degree days vs the 8 degree temperatures we've had here in Ohio lately! How about sending a little of that sunshine (and heat) my way! LOL! GREAT job on this beautiful creation!
