This is for Shirley’s Free 4 All Challenge to make a scene. I have a lot of these type stamps with the thin-lines & lots of detail from Stampin’ Up! in the 1990’s time frame. I was a demonstrator back then. These stamps make lovely scenes. This set is one of my favorites. I shaded the images with colored pencils. In the background, I sponged lightly with a cloud stencil (SU – retired). Die-cut with a stitched rectangle and layered on a colored card base. Lastly, I used my Misti to stamp the sentiment several times due to the rough paper texture. Didn’t want to risk it otherwise. Fun challenge! TFL

Just beautiful and looks so peaceful.....and warm. I see daffodils in your scene. They will bloom here next month and I am so glad. It will at least look like spring even if it is cold.

So very pretty. I love this scene and you have colored it beautifully. SU needs to make more stamps like this. Thanks, so much for playing the challenge and sharing this beauty with us.

I love the breath of spring this card brings to the gallery! Unlike when Brenda looks out her window the daffodils will NOT be even dreaming of blooming where I am! :-) Your clouds are so beautifully shaded. Lovely card!

I just got this stamp set! I won it in a little silent auction fundraiser at the stitching group I go to. Someone's granddaughter had donated it and several other sets. I won a few of those, too. I didn't even think of using it. I may have to go back and make another card!
You've done such a great job shading this with pencils! It looks so smooth which is what I can never achieve with pencils!
