One of my favourite creative activities is card making.   Life is busy, so it is nice to be able to start and finish an activity in one sitting. 

 
The stamp was a freebie in Creative Cardmaking magazine issue 55.    I stamped two of the image - one on scrap paper; the other on white cardstock.  I cut out the image on scrap and used it to mast the one on cardstock, then used suede; yellow and pale blue daubers to create the lovely horizontal colours.  I used this stamp on this card (for my brother's birthday) and again for two sympathy cards.  I like to handwrite the poem below inside sympathy cards.
 

Something Beautiful Remains - Unknown

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.....
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains
