CDS Sneak Peek - Porch Conversations


We have made it to the final day of the CDStamps sneak peeks before they are released for sale tomorrow! This set is called Porch Conversations and I couldn't help but be inspired by this sweet little yellow cottage that our very own Linda Bornemen owns :)



I watercoloured the house to look like Linda's cottage and pulled the bright colours for the card from the stamped image. I didn't attempt to paper tole this card because with the bright colours and detailed stamp, I thought it would take away from the rest of the card. I just love how the bright primary colours really make the card stand out!




Lori McCrosky has a picture of what the entire set looks like on her blog, you just have to scroll down to see it :) Be sure to hop around and check out the links below to see what the girls have come up with to show you.
