We enjoyed our long weekend, the weather has been so beautiful. It seems like late June with tempatures in the high 20's & sunny. Our perennials are 3 weeks ahead of 'schedule'.
I'm posting another card that I created using a texture stamp from Designs by Ryn . These texture stamps are great for creating backgrounds. I used Design by Ryn's Circle Cluster Set CM-T7.
I'm entering this card into For Your Inspiration Photo Challege #30. The DT & participants create wonderful designs if you have a chance to visit their blog. The Inspiration photo is at the bottom of this post.
The background was created using the Acrylic Block technique with Distress Inks. (Wild Honey & Crushed Olive). The colour in the photo is a little off from the original, it doesn't have 'muddy' colours. I stamped the large Cluster Image with Memento Cocoa Dye Ink and a few of the single circles with Gold Pigment Ink (hard to see in the photo). The sentiment is from a great set by Fiskers - Friends Forever Quotes also stamped with the Cocoa Ink. I added a little sheer brown/gold ribbon along with a circle charm I had in my stash. An easy card !

You sure are good in doing this type of cards... Really pretty looks like a sunset like the sketch.... And did you say the temp was high 20's isn't that freezing weather?

This may have been an easy card but it's certainly very beautiful Shirley. I love the words you've used for this card, and the charm is gorgeous. I've never seen the sunset in Napels before but have seen the sunsets in Florida and they are stunning.
