Hello Blog Friends,
Today is the last day for our May release Sneak Peaks. We have another great set designed and penned by Marcella Hawley. This time we are focusing on summer living. Down here on the Florida’s Emerald Coast we move out doors. Neighbors have beautiful vignettes with rockers, ceiling fans slowly turning, even lamps to create the wonder feeling of out door comfort and living. At my house we eat all our meals out doors, why I even have special summer plates. I added those this year. My Mike, just loves living out doors. Marcella has captured the very essence of that feeling with the From The Porch set. I am sure you will fell the same way. Here is a sneak peak at the set.
In my card I wanted to capture the feeling of living , or just visiting our lovely beaches. So many people travel to Florida for short vacations, snow birds” winter” here, many others own a condo/beach house and come often. So many of them say this is where there heart is and we tell them that once you get these sure white sands under foot, it never leaves your heart. So my card tries to capture that feeling.
My Supplies for this card:
Set: On the Porch, Windows to the World
Ink: Memento Black
Papers: Classic Ivory, My Minds Eye
Copic Colors:
