Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
When I saw this stamp set I was transported back to the time when our sons, (both 23) were in 7th grade. They decided that my garden needed a Koi pond. Little did they know that it would take all summer for them to dig up the 8x8 area, line it with the rubber and plastic liners, figure out how to rig a water pump for the 3 water features they designed, and of course fill with stones, waterlilies and fish. I remember the pure energy the first week. Then, the disappointment of constant rain the second. They had to re-dig that pond 3 times before they even got the liners in place. But, by the summer's end, I had a FABULOUS Koi pond. What ever happened to those great 7th grade boys? Oh, that's right...the fumes.....Car fumes and perfumes....LOL!
The images were stamped in dark brown on white and colored in with Copic Markers. I added in highlights with an Inkssentials pen.
LOVE your card...it's gorgeous and brings back fond memories of my time living on Oahu. I'm still laughing about your story of your boys :O) Love the "fumes" reference...isn't it so true? LOL
I see why your card is listed in the favorites gallery this week :O) Totally deserving!
