Summer Days ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

I love the beauty of fall, but I have to admit this year I'm not quite as ready for winter to come. That's why I'm posting this Summer Days card. It brings me back to the warm and SUNNY days we had this summer!

I created this card for my nephew's b-day that's at the beginning of September, but by the time he got it I should have made the leaves fall colors instead of green.

I stamped the tree image, but didn't ink up the girl reading a book. After that I lightly penciled in hills so there was some dimension. I then stamped the cat where the girl had been and added the dog chasing it. And since it's a boy's card I added the boy flying his kite at the top of the hill. After that I did all of my watercolor starting with the sky, then the tree, the grass and finished off with the cat, dog, boy and his kite. Once it was dry I used my basic black stampin' write marker to draw in the "outline" of the hills adding a touch of grass in black here and there too so it matched anything that was stamped with the images. This card just makes me happy and brings me back to the innocence of childhood.
