I don't buy alot of stamps that are scenes... Not sure why. But this one from Our Daily Bread Designs drew me in with the Scriptures that were with it. So perfect. And this scene? I want to be sitting in one of those chair -- overlooking a lake or beach of course!
One little tip that I learned watching a video that Jill Foster did. Her images are so crisp and bold and there are many reasons for that but one is what she does to images when she cuts them out. She takes a black marker or Black Soot Distress Ink and runs it along the edge to make sure it is crisp and black. That way if your cutting was imperfect no white shows! Hard to tell on this particular card because I matted it in black but I did that on the edge around the scene.
Supplies: Basic Grey Olivia paper pack patterned paper; Neenah Solar white cardstock; Copic Markers (Y26, Y28, Y21, Y000, R05, R12, R14, BG10, BG13, B000, B02, E41, E42, E000, 110); Ranger Glossy Accents (window panes); EK Success border punch; Bazzill cardstock
That really is a beautiful image, Jana! Love what you created with it!
