I hope you have enjoyed this week's blog hop so far.  My project today showcases today's featured set paired up with Scenic Selections and some My Minds Eye Quite Contrary designer paper.

After stamping my images onto white card stock then coloring with prismacolor markers, I took the small grass stamp from Scenic Selections and stamped it repeatedly in green galore ink around my trees before stippling the same ink over it to help fill in any white areas.  Then I stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the top half of the card to help fill in the sky before adding some birds in memento black then layering.  My only embellishments are some faux green galore brads and red ice stickles highlighting the berries in the trees before popping the whole panel up over a stamped border.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win today's featured set.
