Maybe I'll try this......

or this.....or this....or maybe that!

So I started this card last Monday for the High Hopes Challenge #18 to make an Easter Card (but I don't have any High Hopes Easter Images....yet) so I had to revert to Spring. I then combined this with this weeks Mojo Monday #74 sketch challenge. And hey if you wait around long enough, you can mix in another challenge: Today's Ways to Use It Challenge to use Stripes. No seriously, I have been fussing with this card since Monday and just said tonight I have to "get 'er done" no matter what. So, she's done...not my favorite...but she's done. I AM pleased with the coloring and the way my hand drawn grass looks at the bottom.

I took a quick pick of the parts of this card before I assembled so you can see how I did it. I used a full sheet of DP behind the images...guess that's kinda backwards. I've gotta experiment sometimes to ensure I don't miss any great ideas!

Oh, and check out my new watermark! I've been wanting to do this for a while. I always sign my paintings with my initials, MLB, all connected in a logo kinda form. So I finally turned that into a watermark for my photos tonight. Hooray!

Enjoy!
