Sitting Here

This swing reminds me of one my sister had at her farmhouse when they lived in Nebraska and what a delight it was to sit on it and chat away. We had many fond  memories of that swing. From early in the morning to late at night we would swing away and visit. Even our little ones would enjoy it.

The background paper is from the Serene Scenery Desiger Series Paper Stack....oh how I love that paper. This particular one reminds me of old siding. 

I used blendabilities to color in everything on the card. Yes, they are discontinued but I still love them. So I'll keep using them until they dry up. You can also use Stampin Write Markers. Here are the details:

• Base is whisper white cut at 8.5"x 5.5" and scored at 4 1/4"
• DSP is cut at 5 1/4" x 4"
• I stamped all the pieces with black Memento ink, colored them with blendabilities and fussy cut them out. I adhered them to the DSP with dimensionals.
• The saying was cut in strips and adhered with dimensionals as well.

I hope you enjoyed this card and it brings back many memories for you as well.
