This card illustrates my favorite place...it's the calm, relaxing feel of floating on a lake. I used a new stamp set from Waffle Flower showing a very relaxed person on an inner tube. It's a multi image stamp set using 3 different stamps...the MISTI was used for this. I added some pool stencil on the tag. My bg is a corrugated paper that was distressed and to which I added modeling paste mixed with blue reinker. My fishing pole is a TH branch die. The sun is embossed with distressing glaze in yellow. Come play along and show us all your favorite place.

Count me in! I can't imagine anything more relaxing on a summer day...the fishing pole is a great addition. Love the scrap, love the floater, love your use of the corrugated cardboard and the watery stencil. Wonderful!
...okay let me step off Cloud 9!

Very "cool" card -- in every sense of that word. Love the corrugated bg with the distressing paste. Everything is wonderful, but the bg really stands out for me. Yep, floating on a lake would be my happy place too. Fun card.

I think that this is the coolest creation, I especially love the corrugated paper that you have treated with a stencil--the dimension and texture from the corrugated paper in combination with the stencil is pure genius!!! And SO beautiful!!! The other elements are cool, one of my favorites is that glorious metallic fish in that wonderful blue-aqua color. This is a card to be noticed for its great artistry and beauty. Wow, am I impressed!!!

This must have been lots of fun to make as you pictured yourself floating on a sunny lake! Sounds heavenly! I especially love your treatment of the corrugated panel!

What a sweet image! I could certainly hack tubing on a lazy river somewhere sunny right now. The distressed corrugated background is absolutely fab, and I like your fish. I think I have some!
