For my card I used the Avery Elle set called Home Sweet Home. It's a great set with some really cute images. I tried something different on this card and the jury is still out on whether I like what I tried. I used some Pan Pastels on the sky and the hillside. I think the sky was fine - but my grassy hillside looks more like dead grass that would like to be green - maybe kind of like it usually is in Texas! I embossed the clouds with the Swiss Dots folder and also added a couple of pine trees to the hills. The hearts on the teepee and beside the sentiment finished it off. Of course I forgot all about "grounding" the tepee so maybe I should have titled this The Floating Tepee instead!

The grass looks like wintry grass in some places where it goes kind of that colour. It looks just fine, Lynn and the tent looks grounded too. I like the pop up clouds and the big heart on the tent. The sentiment is perfect.

I've never heard of Pan Pastels, but you did a terrific job with them, I think. As for the teepee, just imagine it in in the tall grass and you'll be fine. I think the whole card is just darling. Have a fun day.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable Lynn! I love the fabulous scene you've created!! I think the sky & grass look fantastic!

This looks amazing and this is exactly what I tell people when they ask me where home is. We've moved so much in the past that I'd always say it's where we are now.
ReplyDeleteThis s a super cute card Lynn! I am loving your pan pastels, not sure how to use them but think you got a nice effect with them. They look so smooth! That tepee is fabulous and it doesn't look like it is floating to me, but grounded on the grass instead. Maybe all you need is a little shadow for the tepee? Love the sentiment! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Lynn..I love the scene you created and the hills look greener than what we have here in NZ at the moment being in the middle of a hot dry Summer.

ReplyDeleteI love your little scene, Lynn! The embossed clouds look wonderful and you did a great job colouring the teepee! I've never tried Pan Pastels - you may not be happy with the outcome but I think it looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteSweet little scene, Lynn. I just read your previous post and I am glad 2015 is starting to head in the right direction. I will keep you close in thoughts as you move forward.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo on those embossed clouds, Lynn! You've inspired me to try something with clouds although the idea is still percolating. Maybe I'll get something done and enter the challenge. Love the teepee image!

ReplyDeleteFunny comment about the floating Tepee. The card is super cute and I love that sentiment! Hugz
ReplyDeleteHmmm - a floating tepee - too much tea and then too much....???
ReplyDeleteFor all your grass looks a bit like ours at the moment, I still like your card Lynn. The hills are great and the hearts on the tepee so sweet.

A floating tepee could be a lot of fun! Kind of like a flying carpet. Love the coloring! And a sweet sentiment!
ReplyDeleteHullo Lynn,
ReplyDeleteYou are far too hard on yourself! Everything is perfect - you put so much TLC into it. I think the sentiment is PERFECT as well.
I love your "floating tepee"! It's amazing how critical we can be of our own work. All I see is CUTENESS. This is a sweet card and I love that sentiment too. Have a wonderful day today. xx Donna K
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable, and your gray-green grass looks just right with the colorful teepee. Remember the Indians lived in some desert areas too! I am so loving these stitched hills (on my wish list!). And the fir trees added your touch of green. Really cute card, well done. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour little tepee is adorable, Lynn, and I love those fluffy white clouds...awesome coloring on the tepee, too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that sentiment, and the whole scene is adorable!
