This weeks Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge is brought to us by Betty Wright and she has asked us to create a scene with our cards this week: http://flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/
Creating a scene is no problem for me - doing it with cards is a 'whole 'nother show'! LOL - sorry I could not help myself!! I knew straight away that I wanted to use this Limited Edition set that I was sent by Flourishes when I was honoured by being one of their Loyal Royals - I love the images in this set and they are perfect for this challenge.
I used the last piece of sky DP that I had left and stamped the image into it with SU True Thyme and the sun was sponged with the negative from a punched circle . I added a strip of sponged DP along the base of the image. The corner has been clipped with a small circle punch and then the image is layered into white distressed CS that has been sponged with True Thyme. A strip of ribbon has been added and a length of embossed border has been inked distressed and sponged.
As tempted as the eclectic in me was to add more, I felt that the card was finished and decided that this is definitely one of those times when 'Less is More' This is as close to CAS as I get!

I think you're right, Linda, this is "just right"!! Perfect scene you set. I need work on making scenic cards. Your details, distressing and sponging are just awesome and really give this card a lot of character. You did a great job on the challenge!! TFS!
