I havent been to the t-parties for a long time so wanted to join to party finally. Heath loves hunting and fishing , and Pat Smethers did a card I kind of cased. ...~Sweet Spot~ by patsmethers at Splitcoaststampers. Dont have that neat stamp so drew it. My sky got way darker then I meant...maybe its wee early in the am, and its still a bit dark and its a sun-rise instead of sunset...:0). I also wanted to try and catch our queen for the week Angela or Arizonamaine...I saw a few card she did using a frame around her pic. I tried it but ended up being changed for sizing and mailing purposes when done, but still same idea that kind of owrked..here is her card..WT336 & CAS131 Friends Flowers by Arizona Maine at Splitcoaststampers.
So I drew the pic. colored it with water crayons, songed the sky using a ripped paper towel and just a bit extra, water colored and sponged the water and sponged the grass a bit to darken it and give it a bit of dif. shades. I thne added the leaves, made the frame, raised it over another dp on the card base and added the verse. Thanks for visiting...:0)

Get out of town...what a great card! I can't believe that you drew this Wendy (I can draw ducks and flowers and nothing else, which is why I love stamps ;). I love the way that your sky and water both turned out...really does have an early morning feel. You even got the scripture part...you totally rocked this challenge! Thanks for coming to the party this week, funny how life gets in the way - now go get some of those fish cookies!

I think it turned out perfectly! The sky looks fabulous in the picture and I love that you drew the picture, if I can't stamp it, I can't do it!! And the branches around the edge add the perfect touch!
