DTGD14 Still Waters

Photo Details

Poster: Stamperrobin

Hello everyone,
Well, I didn't do this for all this time because I had the deer stuck in my head and didn't want to do the same as what I saw....Finally, today (at church, yes, I'm a bad girl for thinking of this during church), this stamp popped into my head!! Yay!. It wasn't easy transferring the reverse image onto the water color paper though, I finally had to use a piece of rubber I bought long ago to carve (but hadn't yet). It worked pretty well. I made it a snowy bank and tried to do a reflection but...not always that easy for me!I can photograph reflections perfectly but I've found in art, it doesn't look realistic when it is "realistic" if that makes sense...
Thanks for looking!

Fantastic, Robin! I am so drawn to your colors since I have such a hard time with brights! Love your reflection on this one and the wonderful sunshine you created! You really did rock these challenges and were one, very busy stamper!!

I would imagine a "deer stuck in your head" would hurt hehehehe . I digress, this is jaw dropping gorgeous my friend.

It makes total sense, and this might be my favorite card of the whole event!!

Your colors just GLOW! They are incredible! Maybe that's because inspiration struck you in church!

I also love where the water is - I think it's amazingly realistic, actually.

If there's something higher than an A+ that's what I give this card.
