In this part of Texas, if it's smaller than a lake and a little larger than a pond, we call it a "tank"! I know this sounds funny but it works.....We own a piece of land a couple of hours from here that has a tank with a cabin sitting beside it just about like this. The cabin is not as large as this house, but when I saw this image from Starry Nights Studio Digi Shop, it reminded me of our place and all the peaceful and fun times we have there. And yes, alot of good fishing!
I colored this image with Prisma pencils. I'd like to think I'm getting a little better anyway. I had in mind to make the card look like a picture in a frame and if you stand WAY back it really looks like that. Next time I'll put it together a little different without the little strips of Creamy Camamel paper and cut the Cherry Cobbler panels instead so the caramel shows through. I'm still in the "learning process" of this craft! I used the Square Lattice embossing folder on the Cherry Cobbler and the sentiment is from Warm Words (SU).
Be sure and stop by Alissa's shop and see all the wonderful images she has to offer.
Oh, and before I forget! BE SURE and hop over to Dude Time Doodles - there's a FREEBIE and a challenge there that will have you jumping for joy!

I love this and it looks just like you put it in a frame, great job with that. You did a great job with coloring it, such a peaceful scene. Well, ice, snow and cold again today, but almost 70 this weekend, strange weather here in TX. :)
oh my gosh Lynn you should frame this! What a lovely scene and beautiful coloring
I love how this turned out! The coloring is awesome and really does look like a picture. You should definitely display it!
Hee Hee - We moved from Indiana to Texas. I remember the first time someone invited us to their house to swim in their "tank." I didn't know what to expect - shoot, it was just a pond. ;) Your card is perfect.
Wow, this is gorgeous! Your coloring is just beautiful Lynn, it looks like a framed photo. Very nice!
Fabulous framing on this spectacular little slice of Texas, Lynn!! Hope things warm up soon so you can get out there and enjoy that tank!
Lynn, this is a FRAMABLE for sure... looks like a water colour postcard... What great colouring!
Loved reading your post about the "tank" you own... you almost took me there with your beautifully written text.
Hugs,
Monica
This turned out great Lynn! Love your "Tank"!

I guess I've been a city slicker too long......I never heard of a tank before! LOL Your card conveys a peaceful, serene image and I'd be framing it if it were mine!

Wow, you are rocking those Prisma pencils! Your coloring is gorgeous...it looks like a picture frame, seriously! I keep going back to look at all of the great detail. Love how you created the edges with those little strips of paper. You are so creative, how do you come up with this stuff? Awesome idea! :)
