Earthy and Serene

Happy Tuesday All!

Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. The weather was beautiful here, you'd never know that summer is on it's way out.

I have a card to share today that I made with images my blogging buddy Lynn sent to me. They are from Serene Spring, a hostess set from Stampin' Up!. This is one of those sets that I could have bought and didn't, but now of course I wish I had. So, big thanks to Lynn for sharing them with me! :)

I used watercolor pencils and an aquapainter to color the image. The cardstock colors here are Chocolate Chip and Creamy Caramel. I'm happy to say that I made this card using all scrap cardstock. I have so many scraps, I need to make good use of them! The caramel piece was stamped with the Canvas BG in Close to Cocoa and then I stamped some cocoa right onto the paper, hoping to give it more of a weathered look. I paper pierced the corner of the image piece and added flowers and ribbon to complete the card.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day! Happy Stamping! :)
