I used two digi sets available from CYDI? by Lilypink Designs. I love both the Topiary and Truckin' sets as there are sooooo many images in each. I used one of the signs in the Truckin' set and sponged a little Tim Holtz Linen Distress Ink on the edges. I colored the topiaries with a Copic marker and some Linen Distress Ink.
I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and the Martha Stewart Iron Gate punch on some kraft paper from Hobby Lobby to make my fence. I also sponged some Linen ink on it as well.
Hope you all are having a great week!

Oh my gosh how fun. I love this scene you created. It looks just like someones back yard-not mine, of course, I have chain link fence and nothing but trees....lol As a matter of fact this would look perfect with a rock and a coffee filter in the design elements....lol I shall keep that in mind!!!

Nancy, oh Sister, you have such a wonderful dry sense of humor - with a bit of sarcasm - and incorporate it in your cards so well - I need to get more humorous cards in my stash - especially like this one for a birthday!!
Love the creative juices you have flowing here - that fence looks fantastic and both the sponged sky and the topiaries look great in this scene! Genius, my friend!!
LYMI and hugs!!!

OMG Nancy, this is hysterical. Unfortunately, I belong in that zone. Oh, to be young again. The creativity and imagination for this is your strong suit on all your work. Sis you did a great job!
