Ok, so I did say that the next Carmen Medlin card would feature the adorable I Want To Play…and you will be seeing that one very soon, it’s just that when I stamped the images out, this one called to me!

This is FRESH PICKED – Carmen Medlin for SCACD Stamps (for US readers, she is also available at Susana’s Custom Art & Card Design).

Such a beautiful image, and perfect for various occasions.  I’m thinking Mother’s Day, “thinking of you”, birthdays etc.  I love the movement and sentiment that Carmen captures in her illustrations.
