Remember Lane

      For this card I used two Gina K stamp sets: Northwoods 2 and Country Roads to form a vintage scene. I recently purchased Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper. The tree and the mailboxes were stamped and fussy cut from this paper. This acted as a mask against the background inking that was done. The truck is stamped on ivory card stock, colored with water-based markers, fussy cut, and pop dotted to the card. 
     This card reminds me of the postcards that my dad saved from the 40's. The Kraft paper with the inking resembles the paper from the antique cards.

Weathered Wood Birdhouse

     I got some serious use out of my water pen on this one. I started by painting a horizon, then filling it in. I stamped the images on watercolor paper and painted them. I fussy cut the images and pop-dotted them to the card. I was so excited to finally use my weathered wood marker, that I matted it with a similar color as well as smokey gray. The flowers are abandoned coral.
