Tuscany

Hello crafty friends,

When I saw Michele's beautiful take on that gorgeous inspiration photo over at "Inspired by..." I felt an urge to hop on the next plane to Italy! Since that was not possible I made a card. I immediately thought of this stamp from Stampendous.

Stamps: Stampendous (landscape frame), Savy Stamps (sentiment), Hero Arts (poppy in background)
Die: Memory Box (dragonfly)

The landscape is colored with my Akashiya Sai watercolor brush pens, three of the poppies are fussy cut and mounted on foam tape. I cut out the landscape and mounted it a on dark green panel. The cream layer is stamped with a poppy stamp in a very subtle (and old) peach shadow ink from Hero Arts. The little dragonfly is cut out from paper that I painted a long time ago with some shimmery watercolors. I love this little dragonfly - it's perfect for when your card needs a little something and you don't feel like using a butterfly.

So, who wants to come to Tuscany with me...??? (Well, at least we can dream, right?)

Be well and keep in touch!

Two Wintery Cards

Just popping in quickly to show you two more wintery cards that I made. They are both 5x7.

White embossed the trees, matted the panel with matte silver cardstock. Popped up the sentiment. Added stickles to the trees, snowflakes, and around the sentiment panel.

Stamps: Penny Black (trees), Stampin' Up (sentiment)

White embossed the snowman on kraft. Colored with sharpies. Added a red layer, the sentiment, and a glittery snowflake. Seeing it on screen reminds me that I wanted to color the snowman with a bit of white chalk or something. Shucks!
