Hi Friends,
This card was a fun one to build and create. Another card I had started and set aside for lack of ideas and found the rest of it in my sleep. Yes I woke up with the rest of the card in mind for the next day. The cut circle in white linen texture card was already made (I needed something on this CS) I knew I wanted it blue in the background but what to use for a design on the white I could not leave it white.
I remembered a background stamp I had stored a few months ago a perfect candidate stamp for this background so I tried it and was sold on the beginning of it. Then added some script stamp from my stash while trying to keep a washed look I inked some really rust SU onto the CS darker in some areas more than others.
The tree image was another tree stamp from my stash, only the coloring of it was done by acrylic paint but the background was colored with ink and dauber. I added a bow on top of my scalopped circle for added interest and a Just for you stamp from stash was added to the bottom right corner.
I made two cards with this technique

That's it! Time consuming on this one was because of the lack of ideas to start. But when you are really stuck for a card to continue, leave it! Set it aside where you will see it day after day and one morning you will wake up with a great idea to finish it up and perhaps you will get a happy shock at what you will finish it with, it always works for me. I start cards all the time and lacks the "Je ne sais quoi" aspect of it so I don't fight it, I just leave it be....
Have a spectacular day, do something fun!
