Sighhh.... just look at this photo I found over at the For Your Inspiration challenge blog.
See the tree at the bottom right hand corner of the photo? Yeah, the one with the reddish yellow leaves. That's the tree I'd pick to sit under with a good book! How about you? ;D
Well after I finished daydreaming I was actually there... I sat down and made my card. Of course it could never be as lovely as this landscape, but that's why they call it an inspiration photo right? ;D
I pulled out some of my Verve stamps today. My Grand Caliber and Spellbinders dies got a good workout with this one. ;D My inks are all Tsukineko.
I also entered this card in a challenge I just discovered... Make My Monday. What a cute little banner they have. ;D
This is beautiful! Thanks for playing this week at FYI!
