I had this idea in my head for a basket weave type background. Looking over my stamp collection the long, narrow stamp from the Work of Art set seemed perfect for my vision! I stamped it in all three challenge colors. Then I stamped the trees and grass in Soft Suede ink on a piece of Soft Suede card stock for a secondary background. Then there's the focal point - the two deer standing in the meadow. LOVE this image! I stamped it in Soft Suede ink then using a Blender Pen, gave the deer some color. Using a dauber I added Mint Macaron grass and a Lost Lagoon sky. To finish it off I added a wonderful quote from the Rose Garden stamp set, two small punched Lost Lagoon flowers adorned with Pearls and a little sprinkling of Linen Thread. I really love how this card ended up turning out. Sometimes you never know where your creativity takes you, but today, I love where my journey ended! I hope these colors inspire you to play along with us this week. We'd love to have you! Happy Stamping from the birthday girl!
