Peaceful Surroundings

Photo Details

Poster: Benzi

What a wonderful sketch. I am leaving a lot of white, rather cream space on my card. I stamped my image from a Mark's Finest Papers set called Adirondack Summer. Instead of a ribbon, I made a pennant and cut it short so as not to interfere with my sentiment. Hope that's o.k. Stamped my card and left uncolored but sponged the sky.

I've seen this stamp set look quite summery, and now your card looks like fall with the colors and beautiful sky! I like the pennant with sentiment below it! tfs

I love this and it falls right into my favorite category of less is more!! Your cream and chocolate combination is stunning, that soft sponged sky is the perfect touch of color and I like your idea of a pennant behind the image. Great card!! TFS

I love that beautiful chair image! The pennant is perfect for this, leaving room for the wonderful sentiment. I was doing just that yesterday......sitting in my chair. listening to the wind in the trees and soaking up the sunshine that is sure to be gone in a week or so.

Your card just pops off the page with your contrast of colors. Love it. Looking at it I'd love to find that spot, instead of going to work. :) tfs
