Colours of Summer

Impression Obsession's challenge is called "Colours of Summer". I used the IO "Sunflower Barn (H1157)" because it make me think of a Summer's day drive through the country.


I stamped two extra layers of sunflowers so I could layer them up. I used some fuzzy stuff ( pretty sure that's not the technical name) on the sunflower centre. I stamped IO's Washi Tape stamp (B880) on vellum, and layered a piece of a K&Co border, a TH adage ticket, a wooden bird and a button on it. The paper is MME Miss Caroline. My favorite part of this is the sky, I probably couldn't recreate it if I tried. I used Copics to colour the image.
I'm entering this in the IO challenge : http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/06/colors-of-summer-challenge.html

  1. Love this card and the country feel it has! Your coloring is wonderful and I love the popped up flowers. I love how you stamped the washi tape stamp on vellum, when I zoomed it I thought it was tape. Also love the collage in the corner. Great card! Thanks for sharing.
