A Change of Scenery

After a busy day of swim lessons and potty training, this momma is excited to sit down for a few minutes and take a break!  Today's card is one for my upcoming camp and I'm really excited for how it came out!  I was inspired by a trip we took last weekend for my mom's birthday.  We went wine tasting and I thought the company and the scenery was wonderful. 

I am also a blogger that still reads other blogs and I was really excited to read about Kimberly Van Diepen using a Blender Pen to water color on Crumb Cake cardstock.  So I tried it out on this card and it was amazing even though I didn't use other ink colors like Kimberly did.  I just used the Blender Pen to shade the ink on the mountains and then a chalk marker to color in the clouds and the building.

I've been holding onto this set because it doesn't have any words in it so I wasn't sure how to use it for cards.  However, this time, I used the stamp set out of our new Soft Saying Card Kit.  We tend to buy these kits and then forget to use the stamp sets that come with them.  I wanted a card that could be used for male or female and also one that could be used for different occasions, so I chose to use the "I think you are wonderful" on the front and the Happy Birthday on the inside.

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Crumb Cake (8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 4 x 2 3/4), Early Espresso (4 1/4 x 2 3/4), Whisper White (2 1/2 x 3/4)
