Cozy Cottage

I made this card awhile back and just never got around to photographing it.  Today, was a good day to share this with you as I am preparing for my Open House for tomorrow.  At the time that I made this card, I was experimenting with the Brusho Crystal Colour and thought this detailed hostess stamp set called Cozy Cottage would be perfect to use with it.

I love this stamp set embossed.  It makes it look soft like a cozy cottage should feel.  Gold embossing paired with Vanilla cardstock is fantastico if you ask me.  (Note: I did use watercolor paper for the main panel and then attached it to a Thick Very Vanilla card base).

I sprayed the watercolor paper with water and carefully shook Prussian Blue in the sky area and Yellow and Mossy Green in the rest of the area.  I then sprayed it a little more and then ended up grabbing my Aqua Painter to blend the blue for the sky a little bit more.  I got lucky as it turned out even better than I thought for my first go. :)

As I was adding the sentiment, I thought how great it would be to send this to my mom, but she has been gone for quite some time now.  However, I do have a perfect person to send this to- my daughter who stayed in her college town to work for the summer.  I barely get to see that busy girl, and this will be perfect to send to her. :)
