hello

Papertrey June Blog Hop Challenge

Shades of ombre - Wow! 

                                                      I'm nursing a summer cold and had some difficulty

                                                      thinking clearly as I pondered this serene photo for

                                                      the challenge. I took a literal interpretation, stamped 

                                                      a jar in Versamark and clear embossed on water color

                                                      paper. I used a water brush and distress inks to create 

                                                      the ombre bottom in the jar with a faint line of Tumbled

                                                      Glass outlining the entire jar. Gran's Garden flowers 

                                                      and leaves are supported by Meadow Greens stems. The 

                                                      panel was die cut with a SSS stitched rectangle die 

                                                      and adhered to a light gray card. While I like the result
                                                      I'm not inclined to think it's my best effort! Oh, well, off
                                                      to the Arts Festival and then two weeks in Kenya building
                                                      a school and working in a dental clinic with my husband.
