The Stamping Sensations challenge for March is 'The Great Outdoors' and I've decided to go for a 'garden' theme. For the background I used Distress Inks Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet, splodged onto the craft mat and used to colour the backing paper. I then over stamped it with the same inks using a Chocolate Baroque (EI) background stamp randomly.
For the main image I used a background stamp by Impression Obsessions - stamped with Versamark and coloured with Pan Pastels. If you click on it for a larger view you'll see that the stamp has a 'textured' look to it as well as the clouds.The bird table is a Chocolate Baroque (EI) stamp, the corner branch and the flower border are Hobby Art Stamps and the slightly taller flowers are a Clarity stamp. The birds are Stampscape and the sentiment is made using my set of magnetic words stamps from Rubbadubbadoo. It's finished of with a die cut picket fence (very old die and lost original packaging but may be Xcut), some ribbon from my stash and a Memory Box corner.
Thank you for visiting today.

This is gorgeous Beryl, with a lovely spring feel to it too. I just wished it was like that outside my door at the moment instead of the rain thats falling. I love the textured background stamp you've used.

A gorgeous card Beryl, love your stamps. I am missing my Splodge Mat, Pan Pastels and Stamps.
However on the good side, our weather is superb. Hope you are feeling better.

There's lots to look at on your beautiful card, Beryl. I love how you've created the background and that stamp is gorgeous. Love the clouds!
Do you like your pan pastels? I've been debating whether to give them a go. I love the soft look they give!

Oh, this is fabulous Beryl. What a beautiful garden scene. I did click for the zoom in and that cloud stamp is awesome. Love the texture on it! I was wondering how you'd got the clouds so perfect until I read down the post. I love the background paper you made too. Truly a very special card!
