Blue Ridge Mountains

 Hello Everyone!

Today I will be playing along with The Male Room, Stamping Sensations, and a new challenge, Color Hues. These challenges combine two of my favorite things- Color and Outdoors! Here is my card for today, enjoy!

My sister-in-law was traveling back from her daughter's soccer tournament when she just happened upon this view! Incredible! I used it as inspiration for this card. Who wouldn't?


What I really liked about the picture was its panoramic nature. I used roughly one-third of the panel to give it the panoramic look. The sentiment is meaningful because my husband always says something to this extent when we hike. Good mantra! 

The colors of that shot really inspired me to create this card. The mountains were done by masking, sponging, and colored pencil for smoothness. I wanted to give it some extra sense of dimension so I scored the outline of the mountains with an Exact-O blade. I also stamped the clouds using both an Altenew and Hero Arts cloud stamps.

Challenges Entered:

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy.
