Great Impressions Stamps - Sit and Ponder

Good Morning & Happy Monday!   I have a new card using a fun stamp from Great Impressions Stamps.    I love this trio sitting on the hill and enjoying the day.

 

2013-05-13 GI Sit and Ponder WM

 

To create the clouds, I followed a tutorial from Barbara at Forgotten Scraps.    Although my clouds don’t look any where as fabulous as hers do, I am happy with the overall result.    The overall card design was inspired by this beautiful card from Cindy Lawrence of the Creative Closet.

I hope you have a wonderful week!  Thank you for stopping by!
