For my card I chose colours that reminded me of a warm summery day by the water.

INKS: Marina Mist, Soft Sky, Peekaboo Peach and Soft Suede + Marina Mist Stampin Write Marker

CARD STOCK:Thick Whisper White and Marina Mist

TOOLS: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Square Framelits, Aqua Painter, Clear Blocks, Window Sheet and Sponges.

I made my little scene by using the reflection technique. 

Technique: stamping main images onto a window sheet then turning upside down and pressing image onto card stock.

After I had completed that I cut the image to size using the Layering Squares framelits and created layers using a stitched shape in Whisper White and a scalloped square in Marina Mist.

I backed the focal with a piece of folded burlap ribbon, which is being held in place with a staple.

For my background I stamped the sentiment repeatedly in Soft Sky. Then Marina Mist was added over the top by running the marker on the underside of the larger lettering on the stamp and then stamping directly over the Soft Sky....Don't forget to huff on the ink before stamping!

Thanks for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie's blog - http://bit.ly/KyliesFebHighlights to vote for my project.

Thanks again and enjoy your day xx
