Here is my card using Theresa’s new set Wild About You, it’s a wonderful Safari set! I wanted to make a night-time sunset photo (inspiration from this sunset at our house a few weeks ago). I had a lot of fun sponging this sky but have to admit it was scary at first, I wasn’t sure I was going to pull it off. Now this became one of my favorite creations I made for the release! Pure Luxury cardstock used was green apple, black onyx and white.
Next up is my card using Blooming with Blessings by Rupa Shevde, which is a sweet whimsical Spring set so we can celebrate the upcoming season! I wanted to use this little frog in the set sitting on the lily pad, but so instead of coloring in some water for him to float on, I found this gorgeous solid blue paper in the Picadilly paper pad by Basic Grey to do the trick! I also found a green strip of paper for the 'land'. Then sponged in some quick clouds with a template and then made a 'sun' out of oval punches from the Red Carpet paper pack and Lemon Drop cardstock, with a gold brad keeping the 'rays' together. Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:

Experimenting is half the fun! And anything is possible in nature, especially with the sky and how the sun sets and rises. God is an artist every day. You did great. landscape cards are one of my favorite things to do.
