Peaceful Cabin in the Summertime!

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Virginia Beach to stay with my mother -in-law, Connie, while my sister-in-law and her husband took a mini vacation to Cape May. Sorry no time to prepare a Weekly Wednesday video, but next week I will be back in full video swing. Up until the COVID lockdown, Connie was traveling between St. Louis to stay with us and Virginia Beach. Unfortunately she is no longer able to travel, so we visit as often as we can.

While sadly there is no video today, I am excited to share with you a Summertime scene using the Peaceful Cabin Bundle. This is perfect for a masculine birthday. I love creating cards with this bundle. It is in the July – December mini catalog, so if you want to add it to your stamping supplies, there is no time like the present.

Supplies

Garden Green CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (2)
Peaceful Cabin Bundle
Artistically Inked Stamp Set
Garden Green Ink
Soft Suede Ink
Early Espresso Ink
Blending Brushes
Balmy Blue Ink
Water Painters
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

Directions

Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.
Stamp cabin with Soft Suede ink on Basic White CS panel. Use the water painters to add color to the roof and ground.
Mask the cabin and stamp trees with Garden Green ink.
Again use the water painters to add a bit of Soft Suede beneath the trees.
Use the blending brushes to add a Garden Green lawn and a Balmy Blue Sky. Stamp clouds with Balmy Blue ink.
Stamp Happy Birthday greeting from Artistically Inked in Early Espresso or Memento Black ink.
Attach panel to card front.
Add 4 x 5 ¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

I think the fall weather here in St. Louis is here to stay, so this may be my last summer time card, unless of course, we get an Indian Summer this year. I hope you will create something beautiful today and share it with others. Don’t forget to use the host code located on the right side panel of this post.
