Happy Friday!
I hope you're having a terrific week! It's warmed up in hurry here. I have no clue how we went from sweatshirts one day to shorts a few days later. Down here we have a General Lee groundhog and like the Punxsutawney Phil, I do believe we have a failure to communicate! This has to have been the longest cool weather Spring we've had in a very long time.For my card today, I'm using this wonderful Cattail Bridge image. After stamping, I colored it with Copic markers and though it may not make sense, I decided to put a window around it. For the frame in front of the window, I inked a brick embossing folder w/ a combination of sand & gray inks before embossing it. I stamped, colored and cut out a bunch of the Long Tail Cattails and placed them in front of the window. The sentiment was die cut and added on top. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
Supplies:
stamps: Cattail Bridge, Long Tail Cattails, Thinking of You
paper: white
ink: Memento tuxedo black, desert sand, London fog
accessories: Copic markers, Sizzx embossing folder (bricked), Spellbinders classic oval die

Julie, this is so pretty. Love the embossed brick wall with all the cat tails!!
Wow, how lovely! Those cat tails along the bottom are amazing and the the main image surrounded by white just pops!
I am with Sue here. Wowzers. That is some mega fussy cutting. Gorgeous work Julie!
