These chairs remind me of summer days outside in the sunshine with ice cold cocktails.
Front sentiment: Let's hang out.
Inside sentiment: I miss seeing you.
I think the Adirondack chair set is my favorite image to work with yet. I used watercolor paint and embossed the image in gold. This was intended to be a CAS scene. Sure hope I pulled it off. I love the gold shine of the embossing and the glitter accents on the floral paper.
My inspiration for this card came from:
Unity {be inspired} All About You color challenge 15 and FWF.
Freshly Made Sketches FMS132
I was also inspired by the painting techniques of Sanketi The Storyteller.
Tools used include: Unity Stamp Co stamps from March 2014 KOTM {the reason someone smiles}, Canson watercolor paper, water brushes, Koi watercolor paint, K and Company paper, copper embossing powder, heat gun and flower.
I look forward to reading your comments. They make my day. :)
