Reflections of Nature

 Hello everyone! Having a few rainy days in a row was restful and I got some stamp time in over the long weekend. 

I finally inked up a few stamps that've been in my "new things" pile for way too long. The Greetery Reflections layering stamps and die create pretty trees bordering a lake. Very much like the natural surroundings where I live. 



I sponged a sky for the background using Salvaged Patina and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks. Other inks were used with sponge daubers for the trees, trunks, sand and lake images. 

I really look forward to changing the colors and making different combos for the sky with this set. It's so easy to use!

This is a slimline card, made on purpose so that I could play along with Tic Tac Toe, using the top horizontal line: slimline, trees, green. 


It's great playing with challenges because I find myself reaching for that never-been used-stuff, so I'll add this also to NBUS

Thanks so much for joining me today, I will be back tomorrow!

 Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Oh, how pretty this is! I long to be in that forest by the lake. It's a beautiful card for a nature lover. It's been sunny for a few days here, but a north wind make it chilly.

Those tall trees are perfect for a slimline card Cindy and I love the tranquil lakeside scene you created. Thanks for sharing with us over at TicTacToe this week!
