abundance of joy

 Today I want to share a card I made using the hero arts vineyard heroscapes and hero art grape vine fancy frame...I can't take credit for the card design, I saw it on pinterest I think and I'm sure it was a design team member of hero arts that made the card I saw....

all supplies can be found at Scrapsalot -Inks Dies-Stamps

I used ink oxides to water color the fancy frame, twisted citron, mowed lawn, dusty concord and seedless preserves and finally gathered twigs...I cut multiple frames one in white and three in black..I stacked them to give it nice dimension up close it has a shadow effect I love it!

I used a combination of different inks for the vineyard scene the first two layers are Catherine Pooler inks, lime rickey and grass skirt the third layer and the trees and houses are archival inks peeled paint and watering can Jet black for the sentiment...the final layer on the vineyard is the tiny grape layer I used wilted violets I think next time I will use a brighter color so they stand out more!

I really love how this card turned out ...and the layering stamps were very easy to line up even with my horrible eye sight LOL

 

 thanks for stopping by...make sure you stop by Scrapsalot there is a little something for all your crafty needs!

super simple but effective 😁 I've been dying to use this this candle washi tape, I received a sample in a Happy mail envelope awhile ago...I thought it worked well with this card!
