Mountains and waterways

Doesn’t this card make you think of a weekend escape to a lake in a remote area? Mountains and a pretty lake, clear water and lots of evergreen conifers! Maybe you’ll go boating…kayaking or paddle boarding? A quiet afternoon of fishing from a small boat? Or just sit by the lake with a good book…

This card is made using the Waterfront stamp set. And the sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. “Rest and relax”…definitely!

Other than the sentiment, this entire card is stamped on a single layer of Basic White card stock. The mat is Old Olive, as is the ink for the trees. The mountains are stamped in Baked Brown Sugar (retired) but you can use Crumb Cake or any brown ink. The water was inked up with Pool Party, stamped off once then stamped onto the card, Pacific Point and Night of Navy then give it depth. The sun is stamped in Daffodil Delight and the birds and sentiment were stamped with black Stazon ink. And inside, I’ve stamped the same trees as on the card front:

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you liked today’s card and are inspired to create your own peaceful scene.

Mountain Air

 

I love this masculine/gender neutral card! It reminds me of a famous phrase by Ansel Adams: “the mountains are calling and I must go”!! 

The card base is Crumb Cake and the Mint Macaron mat layer is embossed with the Trees 3D Embossing Folder. I’ve sponged the blue skies in Balmy Blue and stamped the mountains using Crumb Cake. The trees were stamped using Pretty Peacock (retired) and you’ll notice that I’ve stamped using the “stamped off” technique to give the illusion of trees fading into the distance. Another stamped set of trees were die cut and the knotted twine (from my craft stash) added a finished touch to the card. 

This card is available for purchase while quantities last from my Etsy shop at https://KikumiDesigns.Etsy.com
