I found a little time this afternoon, to create a card for a couple who just bought their first home. And...I'm playing along in a challenge. It's been a VERY long time!
Take a look at this great sketch at Retro Sketches - rs #202.
Here's my take on the sketch.
I remember that this young couple's engagement photos included some pics taken on a farm. So, when I came across this sentiment while browsing my stamp sets it seemed like a great choice for this card.
To get a bit of a distressed look, I used the rock-and-roll inking technique for both the sky and field stamps. After stamping the sky, I swiped some clear Wink of Stella over the sun rays. In real life it looks so sparkly!
It was fun to finally join in on a card challenge, again. :)
Thanks for looking!
