My Door Is Always Open

I made this card for my very good friend, Miranda. She is also a card maker and we have known each other for hmm... too long to count LOL. We are also neighbours, hence I thought the Bitty Bungalows stamp set from Paper Smooches is perfect for this creation. I made the hills from some left over patterned paper and inked it with Brushed Corduroy DI. I love making scenes like this because it is so cute! I thought of using my Copics for the houses and trees but I sort of struggled since the images were quite detailed. So I went and utilized my coloured pencils and mineral spirit. 

Thank you so much Mir for being such an inspiration and more so, an amazing friend!

I only adhere the bottom part the hills so I can tuck in any elements between

I did a tone on tone look for the sky and clouds using Tumbled Glass DI

I love using my scraps for flags and banners
