Slim line

In my cardmaking group one of the girls had us try a new size card, one that would fit into a business size envelope, she suggested 8.5 x 3.5 inches.

I went looking through my stamps trying to figure out what I might have to fill that much space when I came across this silhouette stamp, I figured I could do some repeat stamping to make it fill the whole bottom of the card. I started off by water coloring the background using my distress inks, in the grassy part I tried to add some long grass strokes but they are covered up by the stamping pretty good.  I did a like how the sky turned out though. I started with the stamp right in the center and stamped, then stamped on either end for a continuous scene.

The little bee I just got from crafters companion thank you calendar of goodies, each day you open a new die, just like the advent one I bought at Christmas.  The birds and sentiment are from another stamp set.

Crafters companion - Sheena, Grass silhouette stamp and bee die
Distress inks for water color background - Mowed Lawn and Tumbled glass
Stampendous  Meadows edge stamp set (birds and sentiment)

The other girls had some fun ideas for this!  But I will have to say I like my A2 size cards still :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, hope you are all staying well.
