I am a T-shirt-aholic so my heart was already doing a happy dance when I saw today's Inspiration site was Simply Cute Tees! Typically, I gravitate right to the bright rainbow colored designs but for unknown reasons, today I kept getting dragged back to this Deer Stand design.
My first challenge (other than building the scene) was to find any BROWN in my ink assortment - it's a color I rarely (read as NEVER) use.
I die cut a circle and used it to mask off where I wanted my sun then sponged around it in fossilized amber. Next, I grabbed the Frayed burlap to add in some puffy clouds and ground cover. Trust me when I say Brown hued clouds went against everything in my nature . . . but I wanted to stay true to my inspiration shirt which was after all done in shades of brown . . .
Stamped the Mountains in Gathered Twig then randomly stamped Grass & pines in Royal Blue. Die cut my panel to a useable size and then Sponged around the perimeter with more Royal Blue.
I had as much trouble finding a piece of Brown cardstock to frame my piece as I did ink but finally settled on this piece of rust for framing. Finished with a bold die cut sentiment (Teapot gift from Karen - Redbugdriver) and 3 small white Nuvo drops.

This is such a lovely scene, Linda! I do understand about the brown..not a color I use very much. And not a color I wear. It's just too...brown (read dull). But it looks great on your card.

The rust works so well with your royal blue edged scene, Linda. Love what you ended up creating and so glad you stuck with it because this is such a peaceful scene. You did a great job with the masking and sponging~
