Hello! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was a bit boring, but I'm determined to make it a good week! I did get this card made yesterday, once again, from scraps I found laying around on my desk. Also found a colored image similar to this one, but the nestie had slipped and ruined it. No problem, I stamped and recolored!
This is one of my all time favorite sets from Papertrey (along with Vintage Picnic). I think I could color these images every day! I love, love the 'wood' paper from My Mind's Eye's last collection. I ordered soooo much! That's why these scraps were never thrown away! Too good! Now, the base layer as I'm sure you've figured out is Summer Starfruit from Stampin Up! I think it is one of those quirky colors that you hate and then love! I'm determined to love and find colors it works with. I started with 'Baja' because it's similar to what I THINK they used in the big SU catalog. I cut a panel and then embossed it with Tim Holtz's wood grain folder. I sponged some soft suede to help define the grain a bit and layered it onto a card base of Summer Starfruit.
A little twine to complete the 'country' look and a card was born!
Thanks for coming by today! Enjoy your day!
