The first thing I did was take a piece of paper from which I had previously die cut a circle. I used this as a mask so that I could sponge on my grass and sky. This provided the basis for my scene and I proceeded to stamp all of the silhouette stamps from the set using my MISTI and black ink and gradually built my scene. Now I think this is a typical Spring scene around here and especially so in March and April when the first flowers peek their heads out and the trees are finally leafy. And, I remember as a kid and also as a Mom with our kids flying kites during those months.
It sure is a windy one today, but at my age I am no longer in a good enough shape to fly a kite. In fact, I don't have one around here anymore. But this scene did bring back some cool memories for me.
I am also entering this in the Double D's Challenge as the theme is Think Spring.
I hope your weekend is going great. Thanks for stopping in.
God bless,
Verna

Your card sure takes me back in time, too; although I was never very good at keeping the kite up in the air for very long. It was fun, though!! Verna, this is a winner in my book; it truly represents spring at its best. You did a wonderful job stamping the shadow stamps; sometimes they are impossible to get the full image stamped. It takes time to figure out how much ink is enough or too much before you stamp it; obviously you have it ALL figured out. Every stamp is fully stamped and placed on the lovely background you sponged. It's perfect; of course, I know you and your strive to be a perfectionist.
Your scene is the perfect spring idea. We used to fly kites as little kids and I am not sure that the kids today enjoy doing that. I did buy my grnad kids a kite, but that was as far st is got.
LOVE how you have masked the scene so that it is spotlighted. It's a perfect CAS card, and that cute little girl with the kite is just so sweet. Great use of that stamp set!!!
Wow, love your beautiful scene, how fun and inspiring! Thank you for joining us at Double D!
