Sit back and relax...

Thought I'd try my hand at some Lockhart cards using my Spring Inspiration stash of goodies. Whenever I have cards made up with Karen's Vintage Garden Chair stamp, they always fly out of my stash basket. I think these chairs bring a sense of nostalgia to a lot of folks, bringing back memories of when they sat in chairs just like these. When I go to my parent's house to visit, we still sit in these kind of chairs...grass green is the color. They're squeaky and a little rusty, but still our favorites. I colored my stamped image in with Copic markers, using a very light touch and a Colorless Blender to soften up the colors. I finished up my image with a Lockhart sentiment, just perfect for the chair image. I embellished my card with a Spellbinder's Scalloped Nestabilities Rectangle, some of my handmade embellishments from my stash, Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday patterned paper and Papertrey Polka Dot Basics for the card base.

I've been reading my friend Dawn's blog and how she's been sittin' out in their deck chairs. We've had some pretty nice weather here in Kansas....getting chillier as I type...but lawn chair weather will soon be here! I hope you have a relaxing kind of weekend!!
