Let me start off by saying - I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SET since there are so many possibilities for it.  Today I am going to share with you a blog hop staple for me -CAS (clean and simple) home decor.  

I started out by stamping all my images and saying from Columns and Topiaries in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock before coloring with prismacolor markers.  Then I pulled out Scenic Selections and stamped the grass in forest moss before adding some birds in memento black then stippling tumbled glass over and around entire image.  Finally, I pulled out one of my $1 store frames and added the stamped panel for a quick and easy home decor project that took only 20 minutes to make, even with a migraine. ;)

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

Stamps: MFP Columns and Topiaries, Scenic Selections
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Forest Moss, Tumbled Glass
Card Stock: MFP White
Accessories: Prismacolor Markers, Stipple Brushes, Frame

    Bonnie--this HAD to take longer than 20 minutes to create!!! It would have taken me DAYS to create this beautiful home décor piece, and even then it would not have turned out like yours!!!! This truly is beautiful! I have got to try stippling my backgrounds like you do! Beautiful job my friend! TFS
