Dad's Birthday
Last time I went to see my Dad he had been having a good look through his handmade cards from the past few years. His favourites were his eightieth birthday card (post here showing each of the panels I made for it) and the second card in this post. He likes a scene, lol! So I set to work on this year's birthday card, as it is his birthday tomorrow...
I stamped the scene in Archival Black before dusting with Memento Bahama Blue, Danube Blue and Adirondack Butterscotch inks. The rocks in the foreground are coloured with distress markers(Shades of Brown and grey), the cabin too(Brushed Corduroy). All stamps are from Stampscapes except the birds, which is an Inkylicious stamp. Do those colours make it look tropical? Dad is more of a Lake District fan than warmer climes!

Truly amazing scenic card Sally. Sure to please him tomorrow. xxx
Sure your dad will love this Sally, Tracy x
The Lake District on a lovely warm sunny day (sorry just wishful thinking there for a minute). I'm sure he'll love it Sally, it's the sort of card my Dad would have liked, and I know that Steve's Dad loves the scene cards I make him. I love the colours you've used for the water, and the softness of the mountains in the distance.

I don't think it looks tropical at all. It looks so serene and peaceful. That's a great way to spend a birthday if you ask me! I really like how you made the mountains in the background. Very nicely done! A CASE worthy card!
Your dad clearly has impeccable taste in cards Sal and I think this is definitely Lake District.
Thanks so much for joining in at Allsorts challenge this week.

Definitely looks like the Lake District to me & I love the whitework in the foreground. The glow in the distance is very atmospheric. Hope your Dad has a lovely day.

So beautiful, Sally. I'm sure your Dad loves it since he seems to like the scenes. How sweet of him that he has kept them!
Stunning, Sally - and no, it doesn't look tropical at all - just wonderful! Absolutely love this. Happy Birthday to your Dad!
Firstly, Belated Big Happy to your Dad. Obviously, a man of good taste to appreciate these beautiful cards you've made for him. This one is equally lovely. You've used these great SScapes wonderfully on this pretty card. Got those muted water colors just perfect & reminds me that I need to get my scapes out to use them more. I'm really liking this one very much, Sally. Great job. TFS
This is simply gorgeous! I hope you don't mind but I have put it on my Pinterest under Clever Crafters! Thankyou for joining in my Challenge this week Jo x
