For today I have a card that I am very proud to have created. It consists of a collage of images (mostly Stampin' Up) that all relate to what you might find around a pond/lake.. Thanks to the creativity of Hand Stamped Sentiments for their photo inspiration and AAA cards for their masking theme it all turned out to be a wonderful card.. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I enjoyed making it..
Collage of images using the pond as the common theme. |
Distress Markers is what was used to color the images |
