Backyard Scene - KSS

For today's Let's Make a Scene design sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps I have potted the new Spring Daffodils Multi Step Clear Stamps in the urn from Hydrangea Multi Step Clear Stamps. In recent weeks I have put the daffodils in a basket and in a watering can. As promised last week, today they are in the urn.

This card is going to a friend and her sweet pup who are spending the summer in Denver.
She has sent me lovely pictures of herself and Scooter on their hotel balcony enjoying the gorgeous mountain scenery and crisp, clean air! I'm not sure how we can lure her back to Texas with our broiling heat and relentless sun!


I used two masks to create this design. After stamping the urn first, I placed a mask over it and stamped the daffodils. Next I stamped the dog toward the background of the scene and then added a mask on him. I then brushed Peeled Paint Distress Ink on the grassy area and Peacock Feathers Distress ink on the sky. After removing both masks, I added the frog, the dragonfly, the grasses, and the bold sentiment.

I am entering this card in the following challenge:
