I finally got some new sets from the Occasions Catalog that is coming out on January 6 for Stampin' up and wanted to use all my stamps as soon as I could! I had a few ideas going through my head, but I've only been able to make this one card so far. Since my niece's birthday is so close to Christmas I've heard it through the grapevine that she would like cards that are NOT winter themed. No problem this time around. I chose to use the new set Indescribable Gift. It reminds me of an apple tree in my back yard. Every year I go out and take pics of the thousands of beautiful flowers that bloom on it. Sometimes I stand under it and take a pic up into the sky. The blue is just beautiful behind all the lovely flowers. That's where the inspiration came for this card. I figured why not add the sun in the background. I know...it's not yellow, but on bright days like that when the sky is blue it tends to be pretty white. :)
I added this pic so you could see how the flowers shine. That's from using a VersaMarker and embossing over all the flowers, leaves and branches so I could brayer the sky in the background.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Naomi! I have wanted a stamp like this for a long time because of my own apple tree. :) Can't wait to see what you create with it after you get it. :)
