The Inspiration Challenge today is to choose a vase from Bellacor. I chose this La Sueca vase because I love the colors, and the way they fade from dark to light...sort of like a brayered background. I still want to brayer everything since taking Michelle Zindorf's classes.
This card is for a friend at church who has cancer. He's a rugged, outdoorsy type guy who's hanging in there as best as he can. I have made cards for him with deer and bear images, so I thought I'd try an outdoor scene with my new stamps from Stampscapes. I love these stamps...they're sooooo easy to use! I still don't have the shadowing (reflection in water) part down right and need a LOT more practice, but I think it's a pretty and peaceful scene. I hope he likes it...hope you do too. TFL
BTW - If you're interested in buying this stunning vase, it's available for $451 and change! LOL

Beautiful work, Leisa! I only have one Stampscapes scene but was so impressed when I saw their stamps and artwork at a stamp show. You did a terrific job here of creating the glow around the moon, the twinkling stars, and the reflections in the water.

This is a beautiful card. When I first saw it I thought it was a photo. You coloring and shadowing are done perfectly. TFS
