I masked the mountain image and stamped it 3 times. I grew up in Arizona and loved seeing the mountains and desert in the springtime. I love where I live now, but not very many mountains in Iowa. Some hills maybe, but not mountains. When I was growing up I loved hiking Thumb Butte in Prescott, AZ. If you would like to see that mountain, you can look at these photos that I found online
 THUMB BUTTE in WINTER
THUMB BUTTE in SPRING

I printed Psalm 121:1-2 to put with the mountain and cacti image.

I love this song by Casting Crowns. It has Psalm 121:1-2 in it towards the end. I hope you are blessed by it.

    Awesome work with beautiful background coloring. I lived in Phoenix for a year and cried when I left (after fighting to NOT go to Arizona!!!). Unless you've seen an Arizona sunset or sunrise, you just can't even imagine the beauty which you've captured in your cards, Marilyn!!!

    I love Casting Crowns so I'm enjoying listening while writing this! That first card is really neat - I like how it looks like a painting on an easel - might not have been your intention but it's cool. And very wonderful use of scripture on the second card.

    Pretty card - awesome mountains. Arizona is gorgeous - no matter where you go - I loved it and my aunt and uncle have a house in Tuscson that they stay in the Winter.

    I always feel closer to the Lord in the mountains & @ the ocean. I feel his Majesty. Your AZ scene is really nice. Really fits the scripture!
