Today's inspiration was a web site called Groovy Inclinations - a shop full of digital images and altered photos.
I just love birch trees and was totally inspired by this image called Manches
First I clear embossed this lovely Birch Forest stamp on white card stock - then I sponged with blue and purple masking a circle for the sun. I removed the mask and then sponged with appricot and a little purple leaving a white spot uninked in the center.
I used a tall rectangle nestability to cut the sentiment and sponged it with the same 3 colors before taking it out of the die.
