Time to Settle In

I had a sketch lying around on my desk for a while, and my daughter, Kate, saw it and thought I should make it into a card.  It's so sweet that she cares!   Monika, of Creative with Monika, sent me a wonderful sentiment that is just perfect for it:




I'm not sure who made the sentiment stamp.  The images are from Paper Smooches Bitty Bungalows, Hang Ups, and Spring Groves.  The papers were scraps I had from The Paper Studio's Khloe Lane, and other snips.  I played again with dimension by popping up the background with fun foam, then popped the various images up with foam adhesive.  The background was cut out using SSS Stitched Rectangles and Mama Elephant's Landscape Trio.  The mailboxes were covered with a silver Sharpie and the mushrooms were given white spots with a Gelly Roll pen.

After I photographed the card, I realized I should've created a frame with the background and put the sentiment one layer down to add even more dimension, but that will have to wait for another day.

This card is joining in the fun over at the following challenges:

Paper Smooches Sparks:  Anything Goes             Virginia's View #14: Layers and Dimension
            

Thank you so much for coming over to visit!  I hope you are settled in and living your life to the fullest!
