Simple Ordinary Things

My clean and simple card for this week is about everyday reminders seen in simple, ordinary things...like the sparrow in the bushes outside your home.  All around us every single day there are visible reminders of unseen spiritual things with simple but profound messages if we will just slow down and open our eyes, hearts and minds.  

Sometimes when life gets busy or feels complicated or overwhelming we forget to look, and a card with a gentle reminder will nudge us to remember to seek those moments of quiet solace. 

I chose to ink all the edges of this card with distress ink and splatter the papers with distress oxides.  Without those details this card would have been even faster to assemble!

This is one of my favorite SS stamp sets because of its beautiful imagery and comforting scriptures.  The delicate leaves/branches and the sweet birds are quite lovely and they're not difficult to color!  And then there's that swirling music staff!  After all, the name of my blog is "With a Stamp and a Song!"
