I was so happy to see Jeanne's Scenic Route MIX challenge this morning, as just last night when I was putting dies away, I knew I wanted to use this MB landscape die soon. Alas, it's the first Friday for a month that I've been in work, so this is a quickie made up with scraps from my box. The glitter stars stencilled on a wrinkle-free distress background was already in my box. The foreground panels were cut from a failed piece of Versamark resist, to which I added alcohol inks to make it a little darker. I coloured the landscape trees and house with Sharpies, adding clear tape and glitter behind the house window and a scrap of blue behind the door. Matted it onto black and then a white base, added the sentiment and then at the last minute decided to sponge in the rising sun to go with the verse. I did try adding a bird flying across, but it looks better without and I have used two dies. Mixed media: distress inks, alcohol inks, acrylic modelling paste.
Oh yes, the green foreground was also embossed to add a little depth to the scene.

Awesome scene! Love that you made this from scraps. It looks fabulous. Love the embossed piece in the front. The sunrays with the glittery stars makes for an excellent background. Love the verse. The houses and trees are so cute. Love it all. I could go on and on; I think I did. Well done!! TFS

So glad you decided to add the rising sun. It made the card! Quaint, darling, beautiful..so many words to describe this card. Love it.

I have made hundreds of cards and so many people say it has brought joy to their lives which, in turn, brings joy to my life. Almost everyone I give them to says that they always save me, which I consider a huge compliment.

What a lovely scene, Sabrina, with a sun filled day. Now, I am singing Great is Thy Faithfulness.

This is pure magic..I love the stenciled glittery stars and they look so cool combined with the sunrise...a mingling of night and day. The textured foreground is a great detail, too.
I just noticed your Snoopy bunny avatar...perfect!
