Hello, Back again! It has been a busy week for my blog and challenges. Today’s card is for the latest challenge over at Seize the Birthday. Lindsey our DT member, had the fabulous idea of Create a Scene as our topping this time around. I have been making scene cards like this for a few months now for the stores and have not used a birthday greeting and thought this was the perfect challenge to do just that.
Card Details: I used MFT cloud stencil and a heart stencil to start my background. I then masked off the rest to create my water. The water ripples are made with a stamp. You do have to do a lot of thinking and masking and covering when doing these types of scenes. They are never perfect, but that is what makes them handmade. The boat is a die from Impression Obsession. The water and all the birds are from the same SU set called High Tide. The greeting is from the SU-Rose Wonder set.
Come by STB and see what the rest of the team and our guest Carol have done! Such great talent over there!
Take care, Nanc’

This is a card that we all need about now. It is so peaceful and dreamy. I would be placing it where I could see it most of the day so that I could take a deep breath and be there. That is all.

Have you already transitioned to summer, Nancy? I love how you’ve used so many colors on it – and the simple silhouettes compliment the colors so well! A really sweet card!

Nancy, this is NOT the first card that you have inspired me with, I am loving all the inlaid scenes you make, the beautiful blending of colors and then all the magical layers be it clouds, sky, and everything in between. This is a stunning card and one I am going to remember!

This is such a clever design Nancy, I love the water scene in the heart, the colours are beautiful and the pops of black from the boat, birds and sentiment look perfectly placed. The scene has such a dreamy relaxed feel, I want to be there too! Cathy x

I am always in awe of your masking Nancy – way too much thinking for me. Your scene is fabulous! Makes me wish I was sitting on the warm beach in the sun by the ocean. Hope you are well my friend – hugs!

Beautiful serene scene Nancy, I wish I was there! I would probably stuff up if I tried something like this 😆
