So peaceful...

I've been very busy outside, the last few days, with more to come.  Trying to get some painting and staining done, before the weather turns.  Soon the gardens will need to be put to bed too.  Hopefully the good weather stays for a bit....until December would be nice.  ha ha.  Did you see where Alberta got a dump of snow already?  They can keep it....

Here I have used a Rosewood stamp.  I bought it ages ago, and finally got around to using it.  Again because it's an actual stamp, I've gone with water colours, though for the sky I've used pan pastels.  I always use markers or pencils for digi images, but I like to switch about when I use an inky stamp.

 The papers are from an old Pink Paislee collection, and behind the picture you will see a die cut using the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles die.  It is inked up with distress stain, and I've added a touch of Inka-Gold for added interest. 

I felt the nice peaceful scene would be perfect for a sympathy card.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope your days are going well.
