and now it is rescheduled for next Monday.
I have been one lucky girl lately. I won the $ 50 spending spree at OOzak from the Color Me Creative Classroom bi-monthly challenge. And last week, I won a $ 20 shopping trip to Repeat Impressions, from my fellow blogging buddy, Patti J. So, I have been shopping in my underwear and it has been fun!
When I was planning this card out, I was rummaging through the drawers that have my scene stamps and came across the Heron. As some of you know, I had a visit from a Heron a couple of weeks back. He ate two of my fish, and would have ate them all if something hadn't scared him off. You have to admit they are one big beautifuly bird, but not in my city backyard at my little pond!
Today's card is for the challenge at Craft A Scene. It's a monthly challenge and the theme for May is Spring flowers.
I stamped all the elements onto white glossy paper in black ink.
The Heron was stamped onto another piece, then cut in an oval, matted in black, then popped up over the main scene. I colored with Marvey Matchables and distress inks using a sponge applicator by Ranger, and Tombow water based markers. The inside sentiment is by Repeat Impressions. The flower border is a Memory Box die. All of the stamps in the scene with the exception of the bird are Stampscapes. The label die is from Spellbinders.
Hope you have a great Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by. Until later.............

This is gorgeous! I live on a lake, and watch the Herons fish all the time. When they take off, they do not always fly back into the woods line. I found out they were going to my neighbors and snacking out of her Koi pond! Little buggers, they have the whole lake!
I keep thinking what I will do for this challenge....hmmmmmm.
This is just AMAZING!!! I am in love with this card!
Gorgeous! Love your coloring, and indeed the Huron is a beautiful bird but he must stay away from our garden :)
