Outdoor Fun



Welcome to the August Amazing Journey Blog Hoppers Hop! This month’s theme is "Outdoor Fun." I'm so happy you're hopping along. If you arrived here from Betsye Rose’s blog, you're on the right track. If not, that's ok too! Just continue the hop and you'll come full circle.

Please don’t forget to click the Next button at the bottom to continue on the hop with Carol's blog.

I love living in sight of (and within easy driving distance of) the Wet Mountains Range of the Rocky Mountains in south-central Colorado. This card is missing the beautiful pines, but the sunshine, the mountains, and Lake Isabel are all here. I used pan pastels to add color, and had to do a LOT of masking. I love how the pastels blend together - the blues in the lake, the green and brown of the shore.

I used one of the Journey
Rectangles stitched
dies to outline the
bottom of the banner.

These are just a FEW of the masks I
was working with.

  12. Thanks for sharing all the steps and photos of making your card plus the picture of all the masks and using the corner of the die to cut the banner! Awesome card -- love it! To be honest, this is the first use of the pan pastels that i have seen that makes me think i just might need to add them to my list of supplies ... you used them so well to create the beach and lake that they no longer look like just one more papercrafters' fad but more like a usable, useful and needed tool!
