Since we are to use some of our hoarded stuffs today, I used the last piece of this dk brown dp. Don't know if it counts, but I also used a LOT of brown on this card which is something I rarely do..brown just isn't my color.
I used a lot of different browns so they wouldn't all run together. And I used the blender pen to add the mottled look on the stones. After I colored it all in, I over stamped w/ the Versafine (the image was still in my Misti) then die cut it. I sponged the vintage photo ink lightly around the edge of the image circle then put it back inside the stitched circle. For the white Pegboard background, I used my resizing technique to make a long rectangle die cut out of a square die then added the Double Stitched frame out of the designer paper on top. The Wishing die was cut twice & stacked for dimension.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside, & Copic color details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

The colouring of the well is fabulous! We don't get much of that warm-coloured stone here, but I can just imagine your well in the Cotswolds in England. And it's funny, I have worn very little brown since it was my school uniform colour, but I love using it on cards.

Gorgeous, Julie. I love the mottled look of your stones and I remember using your re-sizing die technique a long time ago....a very good one.

This is a beauty! Brown isn't my colour either but like you I try to use it when I can. I love all the layers and your colouring on the image is perfect!

What fantastic coloring on those stones on the well! I have seen this I so much lately and I love it. Did everyone get it for Christmas or something. Maybe it's just you making many cards with it. This one is awesome!
