Welcome to Day 7 of the 2013 Artisan Finalist Blog Hop. I can’t believe we only have 3 more entries to share after today. This hop is going by so fast, and I’ll be sad to see it end because I’ve enjoyed every minute of it!

Today’s card was my inspiration for the swap I made for the Artisan Finalist Swap, which I will be sharing with you next week.  This is one of my favorite cards that I entered in the contest.

I used the Artistic Etchings stamp set, and Fabulous Phrases was used for the sentiment.  I used the stamp set, Blooming with Kindness for the inside of the card. I stamped and assembled the card, and then I finished it by using the Sahara Sand marker in the Spritzer tool.
