Today’s set – Scenic Selections – was so much fun to work with! It contains trees, leaves, fences, and other images to help you create mini works of art!

I used one of the tree images and a sentiment from the Oopsy Daisy set. The tree was stamped with Memento Cocoa ink and then I used some water based markers in red, orange and yellow to create the fall colors. All I did was dab the brush end of the marker to make little dots – it worked perfectly! I sponged green and blue ink to get the ground and sky. A spellbinders die was used to make the postal stamp cutout and an EK Success border punch for the mat. Seam binding was used for ribbon. All cardstock is from Marks Finest Papers.

So – what happens when you schedule a post just before you go on vacation? Something goes wrong of course!! Last week I had a scheduled post doing a sneek peak for this set and when I got back from vacation I noticed the photo did not show up. Soooo….here is the belated sneek peek:

Today’s post shows the latest set – Get Reel – a fantastic fishing set!

I really loved working with this set – it contains two silhouette images and a number of sentiments some of which are perfect for Father’s Day.

I sponged a variety of Memento inks to get the sunset and water, then stamped the image and sentiment with black ink. Paper piercing one side and adding some square rhinestones on the lower right seemed just the right touch for this masculine card.
