SC79 Alaska Landscape

Photo Details

Poster: suen

I can't seem to get the hang of watercoloring so I used daubers and stamping to try to create my scene. Stamped the mtns. and then made tundra with celery,cocoa and fern like stamps from wee watercolors. The foreground flowers are fireweed. That and the Alaska stamp are made for a stamp store here in Alaska, called Stamp Attic. It needs a lot of work, but decided to post anyway. TFL

Very nice -- it gives a cold, wintery feel with the blue & mountains, but summery feel with the green and flowers -- very nicely done!!!

the scene is beautiful and serene....I like how you limited the size by using the boxed area.....I am always intimidated with scenes....but maybe if I restricted the size I might do better...thanks for the inspiration.....great card

Beautiful card--love the mountains and flowers. I remember seeing the fireweed when we were in Alaska. Nice take on the challenge.
