This is for Brenda's challenge today. Hope you will join the fun! The background was sponged in memento inks and the grasses were lightly stamped with Stampscapes. The tree is a multi step stamp which is so much fun to play with. I enhanced the trunk a bit with pencil. This is no where near what Ohio skies look like. The sentiment is hand written although I still need more practice on that one! Thanks for looking.

BEAUTIFUL! Maybe I should start taking coloring lessons from you and take 3 or 4 days to make my cards! They still would not be up to par with yours. Your caligraphy is amazing.

What? The sky doesn't look like that in Ohio? That's really sad because the sky on your card is gorgeous! You did a beautiful job on the tree - multi-step stamping isn't as easy as it looks, for SOME of us, anyway, lol! Truly beautiful, Nancy!

Oh, Nancy! HOW did I ever miss this one!?!? My jaw has dropped as well! It's so beautiful, and the scene and tree are stunning and so realistic! BUT, your hand-drawn sentiment is truly over the top! We're going to have to play with that when you visit! Really! I agree with someone that you need to toss all your sentiments - haha!! You don't need them! What a stunning card!! You really are a Dirty Girl in every way, my sweet friend! Hugs!
