For today I am playing along with City Crafter Challenge Blog and Inspired by All the Little Things. Both challenges seemed to fit perfectly. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| The girl's silhouette is a retired digi stamp from Sami's Stamps. I printed her out and made a window for the sunset scene. |
 |
| The scene was created using Crayola watercolors! Yes! No need to buy expensive products. As you can see, the color is vivid and blend in so nicely! Below/Left: You can still see some her face and hair as she sits watching the sunset. Bottom/Right: I wanted the surround of the scene to resemble a wood window sill. |
Challenges Entered:
The inspiration photo for Inspired by All the Little Things took my breath away. As a little girl, I would visit my grandparent's in late Summer. They lived in a small rural town in Pennsylvania. Nighttime was always my favorite because Dad and Mickey Nana (Grandma) would talk into the night while I snuggled into my grandfather's gray winter coat. I don't remember what was said between the two but what I do remember is looking up at the vastness of space. I was then I was pulled back to the familiar voices in the background all wrapped up in the security of Big Bill's (Grandpa) gray coat. What I wouldn't give for that gray coat.
Well, thank you so much for dropping in to spend time with me. I really enjoyed this project. A lot of fun to create! I will be back, so until then take care and happy stamping everyone!!
All the best,
Shawna
