{Spotlight Project} Shirley Uses Soft Shades with Country Rustic




One of life's simple pleasures must be sitting (with a glass of something sparkly) watching the world go by!

I started my little porch scene by scoring some white card and swooshing Distress Inks over it.



Using the Bundled Sage, I stamped the rocking chair, from the current STAMP Club set, Country Rustic, then sponged the edges with Walnut Stain.



I stamped two convolvulus from Blossom Overture on top of each other with Bundled Sage, then watercoloured with Tumbled Glass.



All ready to assemble the card:



I trimmed the weatherboard panel and adhered it to a white card panel, then aligned the convolvulus up the side, adhered the rocking chair and added a sentiment. Here's a look at the finished card again.
