This card started with SU markers with the smackin' acetate technique using ballet blue, handsome hunter and summer sun for the back ground. After that dried I used the SU water color crayons and blender pen to shape and shade in the tree, landscape and water with brillant blue, glorious green, and tempting turqouise. Then I started working up the page using sponges daubed in my stampin spot pads of night of navy, old olive, handsome hunter, tempting turquoise, summer sun and cameo coral. Next I took the grass stamp from Spring Garden and stamped the mountain side with hunter green. Then I used the same grass stamp and turned it upside down and used basic black to stamp in the branches of the tree. "My thoughts are with you." was also stamped in basic black. These are so much fun to create. Finished card 5x7. Thanks for looking.
